If silence can scream
If silence can rein
If silence can seek
If silence can reign

I carry all of it within me
All those sublime vibrations
Playing hide and seek
With my delusional mind

Which is yet to evolve
To a state of supreme calm
Where my material self
Is still crying out for an identity

And yet I want to try, to explore
To go beyond the mere ‘I’
To tread the unbeaten path
To delve into the unknown

Soon enough, silence begins to act
To dissolve, to embrace, to submerge
Till all that remains is where it all began
A vast primordial sea of conscious energy

The point of divine inflection
Where creator and creation coalesce
Where cause can also be the effect
Where creation is synonymous with destruction
