Stillness 2

(Dedication: For Kayode)


To create anew
Stop thinking
Just feel the flow


Answers come
If you but seek
A certain awareness


The answer awaits you
Seek to know stillness
Find the right question


Words sound noisy
To transcend turmoil
Silence overcomes


Go beyond language
Do not be waylaid
Thought distracts flow


Let go of thought
Enter no-mind
Here peace is found


Epitaph:
Unshackle vain patterns
True form is formless


Words can deceive
Half-truths corrupt
Only deep silence creates


Silence is the door
Stillness the pathway
Awaken to awareness


Seek silence
Enter stillness
Discover true peace


Love abides
Stillness echoes
Eternity fills
