Poem: Soundtracks of life
It’s not a movie
Life has its own music
That plays nonstop
Throughout the course of existence
It’s not music born out of loneliness
It’s the purest vibrations of freedom
That openly inhabits the freedom squares of life
I tried hard to ignore the loud cymbals and squeaky noises of these freedom lovers
Who happily inhabited the top most branches of life
It’s not a coincidence that their choir is profusely loud
It’s a celebration of the tree of life
A sacred song is not composed
But flows from the innermost vibrations
Captivating the soul with its natural beauty
Like the sounds of the waterfall
That openly dances with the fabric of tranquility
The soundtracks of life are fully loaded with nourishment
To feed the poorly kept spirit
To provide nutrition to the soul
At the bottom of the hill
I found a valley of silence
There was nothing to hear
But I heard the absence of sound
I was pulled by this apparent anomaly
To investigate and search through the crevices
I listened to the fine tuned sound of silence
Trying to pry open the secretive code
That inhabits this ancient phenomenon
In my foolishness
I held tight to the fabric of Silence
Forgetting to fasten my senses
I got lost inside the realm of Silence
It was not a scary place
It was made up of the fibers of peace
I could see through the body of Silence
It was the most beautiful sight
Captivating my unconscious soul
Awakening the consciousness in me
I was pregnant with happiness
Inside this labyrinth of nothingness
I had found the womb of existence
Encapsulated inside the Silence
Existence was free to germinate
Away from the prying eyes of man
I found myself staring at the naked truth
That inhabits the umbilical cord of life
I had broken the code of life
Piercing through the fabric of Silence
I had seen the emptiness
That holds life still
And allows existence to flourish
It’s the most beautiful experience
To hold nothingness in one’s palm
And feel the delicate fibers of existence
