Poem: The Silence Within is a garment of beauty
Again and again, I will be battered by the storms of life
Yet, I will always go back to the fabric of my being
I will always lie down in the still waters of my spirit
I will always eat from the bowl of existence
I will not be tempted by the shiny pot of materialism
Or the protruded teeth of fear and hopelessness
I will not let uncertainty dim the beacon of hope in me
I will forever be a temple of the Most High
In His wisdom he has erected a monument of Silence
To be the template of His beauty
He has created stillness even when the ripples of life were many
In me, He has set the pedestal of Hope
I will walk in the beautiful sunshine of the spirit
And I will drink from the river of life
I am forever dressed in the garment OF Unconditional Love
And my spirit has found joy in the Silence within
I am not condemning the face of our modern life
I am only pointing us back to our true selves
Let us not be confused by the foams of uncertainty
And be tempted to submerge ourselves in it
It is only a mirage and an illusion
True reality is within
And it begins at the entrance of Silence
Here you can find peace, hope and happiness
You can begin to undress the mystery of life
And address the needs of your fellow human beings
It’s not for those who are full of fear
Or those who have solidified their being with identities and attachments
Here, you cannot dress yourself with expectations
You need to let go
And put on the garment of freedom
It’s the realm of nothingness
Nothing is for sale
Everything is made of Silence
Everything is Faith, Hope and Love
It’s the substance of our being
The Silence within is a garment of beauty
