When silence listens to me in a serene moment, I imagine strolling on a village-path Meandering to the unknown, The verdant grass I tread on, is velvety soft, I remember my mother’s soothing touch, The vermilion sky leans and whispers to me. In that sublime unperturbed occasion, I speak to my own heart throbbing and pining for the friend Who deserted me many years ago! Sometimes silence speaks to me Among a roomful of unfamiliar visitors. Like a wafting cloud I slowly disappear from their company, No one notices the void my absence creates, I feel myself in meditation with eyes closed On top of a mountain where an emerald waterfall Descends on the coral rocks with a roaring sound, The halcyon water mirrors the crimson sky! I sense the unruffled silence listening to my soul.
