Dear Silence

Dear silence
Will you tell me
What only you can tell me?

Do you listen
When I let my heart
Speak to you?

Will you give me
An unconditional
Love for

Just being alive?

Not matter if unpleasant
Or pleasant things
Are present

Isn't it a gift just to be able to feel?
 
Will you let me find, in the words of the poets
The meaning
Which you can not speak?
 
Like Laotse said
The name you can not name
 
The eternal name
 
I search in the words
The eternal name
The nature of things
The nature of my heart
And the nature of my mind

I read a little
And let it work its magic
I don't have to be able to explain it
Only my heart has to understand it

What does understanding mean?
Understanding means to become still

And see a glimpse of eternity

Author's Note
Sitting in stillness can be hard, but I find that reading a poem, then sitting a little in silence, then reading again, is a good way to calm down in the evening.
