SILENCE

Silence is the blue sky on a Summer's day
A calm sea reflecting the blueness
In a coolness

Silence is the serenity of a lone gull
Riding the gentle ripples
To and fro - Back and forth
Moving - yet not moving
Seemingly quite still upon the crest of watery hillock

Silence is perceiving this image of tranquillity
Holding it within the heart
Ready to replay it at a less tranquil time

Silence is a remembering of this image
This Treasure held for all times
Of bird upon wave
Sun upon sea
Blueness - warm yet cooling
Serenity - Love - Peace

SILENCE - 2

Silence - the cold, sharp frost of Autumn
A thin white veil
Hiding the green of yesterday's meadow

The cotton-wool bloom upon a branch
Not yet quite bereft of wrinkled leaf

Pattern on window at the break of day
Made by icy fingers of ghostly spectre
Which walked its Silent walk at dead of night

The silky gloss upon a withered petal
Once brilliant scarlet - kissed by the Sun
But - now - in old age - faded, tattered
Yet - made beautiful by kiss of icy lips
Its Prince
Who walked - in Silence

SILENCE - 3

Silence - a being in the depths of Beauty
A giving out
A receiving

Silence - a Truth which holds
Enfolds
Which fills
And then spills over

Silence - a circle bound
Only to be broken
That stillness escaping
To grasp a hand
To hush a heart
To weep a silent tear
To look upon
To feed

Silence - an overwhelming unity
A spirit of Oneness
A reaching out to seek that Beauty which it hides

Silence - coming from the depths of Love
Spilling over into a hushed stillness
Which whispers to the heart
Speaking words of Wisdom
Words of Truth
Speaking words of Love

Silence - a beholding of The Truth within
The face of The Beloved

SILENCE - 4

Ah, Silence!
That point of stillness in the depths
A profoundness
A Beauty - A Love

Ah, Silence!
You whisper to my soul
And my heart listens to Your voice
A voice of tenderness - of gentleness
A voice of Compassion
Filling me with Compassion
With gentleness - with tenderness

Ah, Silence!
How I reach out to try to touch You
But You cannot be touched
You are there - I feel You - I know You
But yet I cannot touch You
But You touch me with a kiss
A kiss of wonder
Awakening within me that slumbering `being`
That centre - hidden from the Light
Awakening that spark
That spark which gives life to Beauty
Which gives life to Truth
Which gives life to Love
That spark which is of Creation
Creating in me a mirror-image of Perfection
