Poem

Let the Silence Be

 

Let the Silence be

 

Let it seep into your skin

Don’t fight it

Don’t hurry it

Don’t ignore it

Don’t push it away

 

Let the Silence be

 

Let it whisper to you

Let it touch you with love

Don’t interrogate it

Don’t prod it

Don’t give up on it

 

Let the Silence be

 

Let it move around you

Let it reach into you

Let it open up your heart

Don’t resent it

Don’t turn your back on it

 

Let the Silence be

 

Let it embrace you

Let it fall into you

Let it expand within you

Let it in

Don’t fear it

 

Let your defences dissolve

Relax

Let the Silence be

Be still

And

- in its presence -

Simply

Be
