Silence
Reward silence with gifts of the like for
attention is precious
& know tunnel vision can be a blessing for your
focused expression
This method is a form of madness showing your
commitment to sanity
so be blind to all distractions & their expressions
of vanity
Stay silent to empty words for it's only actions that
speak
not words just full of letters for it's just attention
they seek
The meek inherit the earth but this is as quiet as
kept
& they silently run the world caring not if you
respect
Expect a lack of reverence in a glass world that's
been blinded to truth
but respect their clear views while understanding
your floor is their roof
Stay above the weak perceptions while giving
strength to your faith
for many will come with strong illusions looking
for what they can take
I'm too focused on my driven mission to see through
an inaccurate lense
or to be bothered by focal points & the views
that they lend
I pretend to pay attention but I'm way too ahead
of the class
& the skools of big fish in small ponds headed to pans
in a flash
I'm silent because I'm listening to what the All has
to say
not the noise causing confusion behind the scenes
while they silently pray
Be still & absorb the brilliant silence while you're
actively listening
& see the jewels that present themselves as they're
silently glistening
