Shhh…
… I am quiet and peaceful now.
I am moving,
slowly like a breeze.
I barely stir the leaves.
the footprints of the insects
are louder than me.
You hear that?
No?
That is me.
I am owl’s silent flight.
I am still,
like winter night.
Even starlight
shines with noise
into the void.
Walk like the creep of dawn.
Stalk like the night falls.
The ultimate hunter,
I was never there at all.
Never seen and never heard;
I am the space between the words.
That moment in between
each breath is where I am.
Seek me at your peril, young man.
I am purpose.
I am peace of mind.
The never wondering drive.
The certainty of life.
I am Death and all things
that are never satisfied;
the endless, gnawing hunger you deny.
Shhh…
… can you hear it?
No?
Then I am there.
Take comfort in the fact
that you’re aware.
To know me is to know
I’m everything
and everywhere.
Those silent moments
between your thoughts,
between your breaths,
between heartbeats;
is where we meet.
I am with you
and you with me.
Silent continuity.
