Silence Speaks. An Offering to Dora Isaac Weithers. (MS Dora)

Thank you, Dora, for asking me to write something on Silence. So this is effectively your Hub. Most proud to do this on your behalf. Gratitude ... much.

You were there in the beginning,

Twirling a rhythmic grandeur of cosmic rays.

Oozing a quintessence of Love,

You dined in the effulgence of Your own rhapsody.

You became form and dwelt among us,

Spinning a poetic web so intricate,

That the seeds of Thy embryo,

Dazzled the cute sanctum of the Heart.

Charmed Silence! I stand before You,

A supernal rose adorned in splendour;

Bedecked in the fragrant garland

Of Thine infinitude.

Beat, beat! Great Stillness!

Beat the drums of longing in my Heart.

I yearn for happiness –

To feel the eloquence of Your poetry,

Dancing in my core.

Sweet Silence,

You cradle my pains; set fire to my anxieties,

Cuddling the Heart with Peace and Joy.

Thy secret, O Beloved :Torrential inner tears,

Drowning out the millennia, of life's painful fears.

Come! Ignite my inner flame,

With the resonance of Your breathless music.

Let Thy nuances and intonations, permeate this frame,

Cushioning the din of my desires,

To let me shine, on the craters of the sun.

Awakening The Inner Light

"Silence is the eloquent expression of the inespressible." -Sri Chinmoy

" Silence is the nest and music is the bird. The bird leaves the nest early in the morning and returns to the nest in the evening. Similarly, in the spiritual world, divine music comes from the inmost soul of Silence." - Sri Chinmoy.
