Inspiration:
Sometimes, for few moments we experience a stillness within. As if everything around us fallen silent. That meditative state takes on our consciousness and we lose track of the time and the things around. Something strangely similar to the state of Samadhi as described by the yogis. It kinda feels like the split second of silence that occurs after any beautiful song, an enchanting performance or concert ends. That silence which makes us understand that the song had taken us into a state of trance. Into a world different than the one we live in. Yes just like that silence, but one that lasts little longer. All you can hear is yourself and your thoughts talking to that silence within. And be there with that silence, not shaken or moved by those talks. Just be there. Still. At peace. Maybe that silence within is the character of the indomitable within us that reveals itself for a few moments, maybe, to elude us of its beauty. It also inspires us to chase the greatness within. This poem is about those moments with the silence within.
Deep in retreat within my heart
Silence is not here around,
Yet it is there, within.
No delusions around penetrate that silence.
Something within me is still and untouched.
Something within me is lone but at peace.
The heart speaks of happiness,
The heart speaks of love and lust.
The heart speaks of faith and hope,
Yet the silence within is untouched.
Something within me is still and untouched
Something within me is lone but at peace.
As the mind speaks to the silence within,
Its loud ambitions, its insecurities,
The worries of the future,
The hurts of the past.
Still something within me is still and untouched.
Still something within me is lone but at peace.
No more I am aware of the world,
No more I listen to the people around.
Just something within me talks,
Thoughts and emotions
That can’t breach the silence within.
I know not what I experience,
But just sit in stillness with the silence within.
