Listen to them every night
Perched up in heaven out they stare
Life may well exist everywhere
Silent statues who pray from dark naves
Oceans lapping warm gentle waves
Search beyond our old ancient...

Silent VoiceI sit silent !
I say words you don't want to hear,
To tell of the thoughts in my head.
Our difference are many,
So we keep to ourselves.

So I sit silent !

the ultimate truthThe ultimate truth pointed out by sages,
being taken as read, needs to be applied,
transforming our heart where a fierce fire rages,
fanned by wayward ego, which to soul has lied,
to which end, shifting to silence in...

on beautiful, quite nights similar to these?

The wrinkles of the rug cast sunlight on a pug
Who splayed out her hind legs backwards
And as I left, I looked back and paused
As her face fell silently

thus believing we are form
we live life in deep trance

when we are both the all
as also this...
