Silence
Man comes from eternal silence
and goes back to it in the end,
In between is the noisy gamut
of experience called life.
Our deepest urge is to be silent
and experience life as it is,
But culture has riven a deep
hole in man's intuitive grasp of existence,
And turned it into a concatenation
of inharmonious experiences.
Silence speaks more eloquently
to nature than speech does,
It makes a more penetrating
connection,
A more harmonizing bond.
Do not lose the inner silence
in the tumult of the world,
Enlarge it wherever you can.
The universe is silent,
But man makes noise,
Corrupting his soul,
Complicating his life.
Silence is the music of soul,
The connection to universe,
Meditation on time.
