There's a silence, that I haven't heard for long
once, long ago, when I hadn't asked for it
I was shown what it meant to be
alone in a silence that was dark,
and now, I see it again.
once it was the calmness that I sought,
and now, I see it again, but the calm escapes me.
Every thought, every memory of that dreaded fear,
pricks, no pinches, no crushes..
that little beating muscle I know is caged within.
The pain makes it real, and if not for the pain,
how would i have known?
Pain's not a distant cousin, but a close twin
of yes, the very thing called love.
My mind's numb, it knows the time moves past
the world spins and the stars shine,
with every mortal, the universe outside ticks again,
only to witness a turmoil in my universe within.
How clever is He to have us made to just see
what's beyond, what's outside, what's apart
and not feel that which rests,
within, inside at depths that make all the difference.
I stand witness to a conflict, between armies
while one stands to clothe thoughts in words,
the other suggests silence, as the cure for all.
"Silence is golden",says the seer,
and I believe there is wisdom in it;
For while the truth is hidden, so is falsehood.
..unbiased, untainted, truly its priceless.
It is often that I have sought inspiration,
for the world to evoke my heart to speak,
to have the mind submit to my heart..
and now, when all I want is to disperse
as stardust, caught in the mist of the night,
I am compelled to inscribe
of the loneliness i feel
when I am without you.
