When We Hear the Silence … In our heart
Art by Paul Mulliner 2023
Life’s stream of thoughts,
impressions, feelings,
slide and glide and disappear
like water slipping through our fingers,
and all the while, unwavering, constant,
like the moon through wind-blown cloud,
a conscious silence like the whisper of a universal soul,
is bringing calm to the chatter of the everyday
and depth to all the shallow thinking in our life,
gifting us a seeing that’s like knowing,
and a knowing that’s like love,
a silent song helping us grow beautiful
in touch with wisdom in our heart.
Sometimes we need time and space and solitude
to find our inner core, to know authentic self,
allow intuition to flourish in our heart,
the soul of our conscious universe,
the silent intelligence inside all of us
and all the swirling spirals of the stars,
showing us the beauty
there can be
in life
while we’re still alive,
while we still have moments
to experience the sun and moon,
and know the way a gentle wind
will sometimes play
through chimes abandoned in a nearby tree,
as all the moments lost and gone forever
echo everywhere across the misty sky
while seagulls cry
and rain begins to fall.
Like liquid sunlight dancing
on the surface of the ocean,
the sudden brilliance of intuition reveals
the eternal intelligence
bringing life to planet Earth,
its everyday poetry of realization
writing itself into the moment,
while all we know and feel and say
dissolves in nothingness and memory,
our experiences like dreams
woven through the stars,
lost and gone forever
as though they never were.
We’re children of a conscious universe
discovering the hidden beauty of its boundless soul
until it brings us home into itself,
into the knowing that can’t be said,
and the seeing
that sees all of us as one.
