I Am The Silence


i am the silence
in a world of
loud

i live within
myself
within you

i am the moment
when you forget
what you
were doing

content
merely to be

when you watch
from
within

your zone
expanding to
universe

i am

I've wondered what that could be before...
and I can see now, it is.
I love it!

ED

Silence is not appreciated enough...there is always something to keep it away...some little noise of bird or distraction of thought.  Thank you for bringing the moments of silence closer to my awareness.

I tried to select my favorite part... but the whole is so wonderful, so cohesive... I can only go mute with awe and appreciation.
