Silence is the song of the soul
What seems a
gracious void,
makes you feel
whole
Au revoir, unwanted impressions
the mind, a junkyard
no more
The life force, an
eagle, in its upward soar
Positivity, galore
Silence is the
celebration of the Self
You are The Source
The all prevailing
life force
Silence is total
rest
A little time to
accept the worldly pests
A fiesta, when we
are put to test
Producing brave beings, whilst leaving the nest
Tears roll down the cheeks
Doesn’t mean you are
weak
The heart brims with
joy
Gratefulness becomes
your inherent nature
Strong under cover,
yeah! that's our stature
Karma cleansing, in progress
So long - farewell,
depression & stress
The mind is freed
from its own mess
What follows is
evidently success
Silence is the
journey from
the finite to the
infinite
from nothingness you gain everything
Meditation is the
best mid-day meal
The end of silence,
instills zeal
Repose in yourself,
to heal
Worries et all, for
you to seal
Consider this a
spiritual deal

ReplyDeleteDivs, I am smiling. And you know why :)
The word silence gives me so much peace and pleasure.
And every word of this poem gives me happiness. I could totally relate <3
"What seems a gracious void
makes you feel whole " Wow!
Superb Divya!
Bhagya! I'm so happy for you! Wishing you tremendous growth spiritually and lots of bliss! Thank you dear! <3
DeleteGreat topic to write on. Silence is like an oxymoron. One can speak so much about it. Your experience seems inspiring:) Super!
ReplyDeleteThanks Divya! Check out AOL Dresden Center. Would love You and Deepak to get a taste of this! Thanks! :)
DeleteNow that's profound girl. I always believe silence is must for self- realization. And the three most important "S" of life i.e. Silence, Self-Realization and Success are interdependent.
ReplyDeleteDivs...You are defying the old age logic that knowledge comes with age. :-)
Yayy!! Thank you yaar! :-)
DeleteYes very true silence is essential for self realisation, the 3S you have mentioned are interdependent, I agree!
I can tell you one thing for sure, knowledge comes to those who seek for it. Knowledge comes with thirst, and I'm always thirsty for it :-)
We need The right source and I have found it. Unfortunately, there are too many unreliable sources these days.
One fine day, I will share it with all, and make a difference to other seekers! :-D
Divya...Your poem is an inspiration to me....because i have found that Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything.... it has a deeper meaning which is well expressed in your thoughts...
ReplyDeleteYou know...i discovered a feeling...while doing meditation... Silence is the most powerful scream....i realized it
Thanks a lot Mam! That's really wonderful, keep up the practice and reach greater heights! :) Its our silent celebration :D
DeleteDear Divs...Like all other writings of yours, this one is brilliant, thought provoking, incisive and captivating. In addition, because of the choice of topic and your masterly treatment of it, it is inspirational. It urges the reader to do something to nourish the soul rather than nourish just the body. Reading it is both a literary and spiritual treat. More strength to your pen! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks a gazillion dad! I'm indebted to you and mom for my excellent grooming since childhood :D Thanks once again, I'm elated that you liked my piece of art :D
