Can you feel Silence

Around you,

Silence

Subtle and noticeable 

In this tranquility of the evening, 

Softening and calming 

In this purity of the air.. 

Like the touch of feather

On your palms, on your cheeks, 

So delicate and tender..

Can you feel Silence, 

Through the outer noise

Coming from the birds?

They’re so vigorous and active, 

So loud and curious, 

Exploring everything around them, 

Taking a bath splashing, 

Diving into the water from the height 

Looking for food 

So lively and vividly. 

Can you feel Silence 

Through the constant noise

Of the outer world? 

People swirling around 

Like birds, vigorous and active, 

Bustling forward and backwards 

Buzzing and chattering

Greeting each other, 

Maybe even rumbling and rattling 

So loudly and lively..

Can you feel Silence 

Inside you, 

Silence 

So subtle and noticeable 

In this tranquility and peace 

Coming from inside

From your heart, your eyes, 

From your smile so subtle and gentle, 

Softening and calming, 

So delicate and tender. 

Can you feel this Silence?
