If you have nothing to say, then say nothing; If you don't know what to do, then do nothing; If you have nowhere to go, then sit here; Why is it that of nothing we all fear? All around and all through, ceaseless noise Naturally the passing of time destroys Busy people I see Silence they all flee. Why is it that we chatter, bang and clank All the time, asleep, awake, and when we thank Prayers said aloud Have ear of God. All of us will have a moment or two When we have nothing to say, nothing to do Beware of silence Awaken your defense. For in silence we see our wounds with much fear And in silence no-one to talk, none will hear Silence heals Cause it feels. And not long through the silent journey of our soul Our awareness awakens to the silent voice of our whole The chair speaks Even for weeks. Our awareness sharpens, no longer in desperation Our minds and hearts resonate to soul's inspiration Magical visions Make decisions. Then we break through to the center of our being Communicate with self, hear, sense see without seeing I long to be I see me; And through me I see you, and through you I see me O what joy it is to be, me and you, you and me Even though I just know Into the silence I go.
