this distance

only brought us closer

amidst the chaos

where noise reigns

retreat.

to reconnect with your

authentic voice

amidst the silence

where you reign

When we decided words of no use
to speak through silence
That became eternal language
our coded mode of speechless speech 
this is when the real was heard
this is when we spoke 

reminiscing 
the world of unity
where silence and I
resided as one
sound erupted
breaking our secret
like the reed
I was cut from
source
and cried upon realization 
this entry into light
from layers of darkness 
veiling my reality
I was pure consciousness 
within you
aware you and I
of each other’s existence 
I was your secret
you mine
in this timeless space
I resided in you
you awaited my encounter
and burned in longing 
a ring of fire 
summoned a manifestation 

I was born

when you uttered
I chose silence 
as consciousness 
aware, empty
invisibly present
as you vocalize
I chose silence
as emptiness
of timeless space
echo resounds
yourself to you

awakening to the reality
of consciousness 
as silence
a longing to return to
my primordial self
I chose silence

between two polarities 
where silence and tension 
coexist
lays hidden 
a spring of illumination 
where hope and dismay 
coexist
between duality and entrainment 
we become one
this field of unity 
as mother to child
we loose ourself to self
leaving behind all forms and labels 
prophethood no more
where mirror and mirror coexist 
desiring only reflection

I submit to silence
she speaks
I listen 
words pour
forming speech
by virtue to Be 
in the act of being
I submit to silence 

amidst the clamor 
I enter a void
where silence reigns
to find you awaiting
my words muted 
this presence surreal
oh hidden one
I seek your support 

As we spoke 
the silence grew

between words 
creating space 

that what failed to be shared
dissipated into thin air

In presence
what was the point listening 
while not listening 

what was the point in loving 
without loyalty

In these transient moments

of sacred silence

I choose to embody

formlessness

so to imprint my heart’s

memory

of my reality;

essence
