Silence

[satya prakash bagaria]

The Silence

I sit in the silence,

And let it surround me.

No static, no intrusion, no voices,

It wraps around me with a heavy embrace.

First there is tension, near panic,

Must move, must do, must make noise, thoughts intrude!

With a deep relaxing breath,

I wrap my being in the still quietness.

Knowingly I stretch my awareness,

I push myself to reach beyond.

Gentle unheard noises start to break through.

Small sounds come to me.

The buzz of electricity is there.

The murmer of the wind, the song of the crickets.

I can hear, feel and know...

Know that all is well

I sit in the silence,

And enjoy it's tender embrace.
