speak into silence

(listen while reading)

take me back to those connective days 
the peaceful old way
when your heart met your hands as they typed
your brain would stop
your hands would start
following the yearning of your heart

take me back to the old days
the days when you would listen
with the innermost ears of your soul
to the days when you knew who, 
who "I" was
and no one got in the way of your writings
not even you

stop and listen
for silence is wiser than sound
and speaks louder than words
it connects not to you
but to your soul

the only part of you who knows
who you truly are

quite, love
tune in, love
into the music
of your being
find 
find the true meaning
of 
who
you
are

compose the world 
that so softly sits at your delicate little feet
hear it
its waiting for you
waiting to be written
waiting to be told in the bedtime stories of your children
waiting to flicker in their innocent glistening eyes
waiting to flood the caverns of their naive minds
hear it
its waiting for you

so do it, dear
strike the chords of your mind 
create a melody with such harmony
that the world cannot forget 
the eloquent arrangement of 
what makes you sing

do it, love
the world will not forget

you will not forget

what makes music fill the room with ringing
and envelopes those 
willing to sing too

take your fragile mind 
to a place beyond words
feel it within the bosom of your breath
exhale the air

....and fill the cavity of your body with its essence

in the silence find them

you do
you have answers


but

you have to feel them
or your body will never just wander
onto the perfect path

yet,
they don't speak to you
you haven't found the music in the sentence
the step behind the dance
the flow of the meaning
behind 
your being

don't get discouraged, dear
this is what you were born to do
open up your beating heart
your heart 
and hear

it has so much to say

stop and listen
for silence is wiser than sound
and speaks louder than words
it connects not to you
but to your soul

the only part of you who knows
who you truly are

so quite, love
listen to the 
familiar sounds
when you tapped in but never out

silence, dear
it is coming 
just wait  
if you just close your eyes and listen

to the power of who you are

listen, love
feel your beat heart
it communicates
to the essence of your soul

remember, love,
listen and 
never forget
you are magnificent.
