Listening to the Silence
I put the tired day to sleep
On the lap of the night
Cleansed him of all the worries
off the dusts of displeasure of life
Turned off all the lights of anticipation
And switched off the voices
Telling me what is right or wrong
And listened to the silence
Inside me
Just for a while.
The silence
Creeping thru the canyons of my mind
And telling me stories
Things of the past
The awesome things
The awful things
The dreams that bloomed
The dreams that bombed
And asking me
Did you learn any thing?
Am I supposed to?
The silence
Told me to appreciate and enjoy
my pleasure and my pain
Not to be scared
To dream
To dare and
To dive
Without always asking
What are you up to, kid?
Does it matter?
The voice
Resonating with every pulsation in me
Told me
To inscribe the moments
The fleeting moments
The heavenly moments
The hellish moments
The variegated beads
To create the necklace of my life.
