The Great Silence

There is no void within the silence.
Just a presence beyond comprehension
But known just the same

Oh You, who calls to me
Without words or voice
You, who precedes my every thought
And calls me always higher

The silence reigns
If only I consent to It
Then I experience It
And live in It

The silence reigns
Even when I don't consent to It
Then I experience It
But rationalize It away

When I say
Be with me always
It is not a request
But an acknowledgement
Of simple Truth
That the silence reigns.

Not just within me
But within all of creation
The silence reigns
In the trees
In the sky
In color
And in clearness

The silence reigns
Within every soul
And every cell

The silence pours out love
Upon everything
That ever existed
And that ever will exist

The silence
Calls all of creation
Into Itself

And in the end
The silence reigns
Within all
Through all
And beyond all

We can either acknowledge
This eternal hush
And dwell within It's love
Or we can deny It's existence
And dwell within the void of noise.
