Silence

 
silence is like a beautiful flower
a rose blooming within my heart. . .  
true silence is not about turning off the noise of life
                      it is the hunger of being just me
and having my own secret quiet-  silent place
for me it all happens with meditation
              meditation means bliss . . . 
it is not something that is happening outside me
but deep within . . .  it is a hunger I must feed often
I will call it an "inside" spiritual journey
                      a journey toward silence
I cannot take you along with me
              or share it with you
for you must make your own journey to find silence . . .
