How balmy is silence!
There’s no one around
and I can indulge in my thoughts.
I can sense my shrouded feelings making noise.
They make me edgy but I must plunge into the ocean of silence.
In this unfathomable arena, I should repose.
I can touch my soul!
It’s weary of bedlam and doesn’t want to broach the ocean of silence.
It was looking for abode for a long time but I would sidestep its urges.
I always thought if I introspected, I would be mislaid.
I guess I bamboozled myself for in these cosy moments of silence I have found my true self.
