When I Was Drunk With Silence

My thoughts were nowhere to be found Lost in the dimensionless realm I could not feel my sanity Or palpate my insanity I was only holding to Silence The substance of my being released To roam the endless realm of nothingness I was far away from existence Yet I felt alive I was far away from death Yet I felt nothingness caress my being It is not courage that is required To enter the fortress of the spirit It's the absence of fear That will bring you to the house of Silence Silence is a habitat for those who are thirsty The seekers and the drifters Cannot stay attached to the cord of life They have to drink from the bowl of nothingness The dreamers and the lovers Intoxicated with the unknown Are always present inside the mystery of Silence Silence is a hospice For those who are looking for peace A beautiful oasis for those who find themselves in dire straits Silence is a path of Light For the humble and the gentle A summit of knowing and a pedestal of hope For the spiritually awake ©
