Silence

It was the perfect start to the day, the wake-up call from deep within
The sun-rise was still some time away and the world was still asleep
The call to pick up the threads and connect the dots was a big leap
The inner silence was one of peace and joy and reflected gratitude

The chaos and the constant churn seemed to surface from time to time
The discipline of the soul ensured that it had no impact on its rhyme
The makeover was gradual and the process of transition was still on
There were no indications to foretell that much of tasks were undone

The trees were amazingly silent and did not dance its way to the cool breeze
The birds that are normally so chirpy were also apparently in a state of bliss
The music that yet played on in the ears were an absolute pleasure to hear
The clarity that revealed itself made choices of decisions no longer any queer

The arousal of dawn brought an end to this external picture of poise and calm
The experience of silence though had triggered a process of internal cleansing
The gross image of the external world with its attractions may no longer charm
The subtle nuance of the inner world with its call for change was an awakening!
