The Silent Dialogue

Walking into the unknown 
leads to paths no words can 
    describe
        Sensitive beings know that 
the ineffable is at the root 
        of our being 
The divine sends us gifts 
      It is up to us
to try and understand
     the world as it is 
and the world as it will be
    Only by confronting 
    That which cannot be described 
can we progress
    On the road to enlightenment 
the ineffable speaks to us 
     silently 
Our own voices are just 
     notes in an endless symphony 
Tonight we gather 
to celebrate the day 
    ordained for rest 
Beyond the world we know 
is the world we aspire to 
The ineffable is the foundation 
     of that world 
We're just a small wave 
      in a vast ocean
Let us be assured tonight 
     That the unsen 
will bring us to shore safely









The ineffable is the foundation of that world
We're just a wmall wave 
      
is
Beyond the world we

I share your thoughts that in existence we are really so minuscule, a small wave as you said in the vast ocean or a tiny grain of sand... and to think we give ourselves so much importance!!! Beautiful composition.. and thank you Mathew for appreciating 'autumn feathers...' . Paling is a fence, a picket fence usually... best wishes, gautami
