~ My Name is Silence ~

I used to think that silence was a vast black plain,
where nothing ever moved and no-one ever came,
but one day as I was wandering, far from the cities of noise,
I came upon a moonlit lake
and listened to its silent voice...

and it said...

My Name is Silence -
Call me and you will see

that I have been here forever

waiting for you to discover

what my name means.

My name is Silence...

I am the beauty of the rainforests
filtering the light through green fingers
as it descends to caress the shadows of the earth.

I am the breath of being that animates the rocks
and dances with them in the mist.

I am the fountain of becoming
that sprays from the mouth of the world
fertilizing the fields with the seeds of flowers.

I am all the textures of meaning,
the colours of being, the gestures of time.

I am the dawn chorus of a million songbirds
drunk on the glory of a completely new day.

My Name is Silence -

I am everything that is.
I am music.

I am Life.
