Silence Listens


In the deluge of the surging river of life
Flooding me with devastating agony
I feel my senses sink deep within 
With the debris of somber spirit.

As from the eroded banks of existence 
I see my time disappear in the wreckage
I hear the distant bell toll relentless
Waft faintly in the still air, calling me.

And then the music of life gets silenced 
In the broken violin that I lose in an instant
Submerged in solitude I hear the murmur 
Of the sonorous stream within my soul.

As I search for me in introspection
I hear it whisper the swan song of perception
Resonating with the penultimate rhythm 
Of the soulful melody of the last symphony.  

I transcend the limits of time and space 
Yearning to embrace the perpetual peace
I talk to my soul to attain holiness for me
In the stillness of inner sanctum silence listens.
