you sought my presence
and began to utter
I chose silence 
sound echoed 
itself to you
a dialogue between 
your thoughts and you
I became awareness in this silence
invisible yet present
in your presence 
as spiritual essence 
alone with yourself
essentially you
observing yourself 
you see me
hear me not
I chose silence
to subvert duality
in this space
where reality subsists
silence in the presence of itself
this momentary annihilation
a reminder that nothing exists 
except consciousness
