MELODY OF SILENCE

Look at me. No,....hear me.
Stare at my silence. And listen to what I am not saying.

Behind closed eyes, welcome the soundless noises that I make.
Softer than a whisper, like the fickle rhythm of a dangling string.
And fainter than the quiet flutter of the eyelash.

No, .... don't fall asleep.
The gentle breathing has secrets to tell you.
Profound and expectant,
as just before the crashing of two waves of the sea.
And utterly simple,
as the sound of knocking that echoes in one's soul.

Will you understand?
Something happens, more precious than understanding.
As if you are swallowed in this giant symphony,
and you become it.

Look at me. Yes,...without hesitation
and with acceptance.

And listen. I will hum the unsung melody in your heart.
