Please do not assume that I speak of the kind words contained in  this revered forum. I was simply trying to get into the mind of a cloistered monk......
___________________________________________________
Solitude, brother of loneliness
child of silence, thy parent
cover me with thy cloak

press upon me thy empty night
commence the soundless ringing
of the bell of time and space

In thy void, I flourish
protected from the banality
of life’s rustling lament

Shelter me from the roar
of useless conversation
from mindless rhetoric

In thy temple of muteness
the enemy is repressed
denied, voiceless, defeated

Only in thy nothingness
am I content and safe
only then, am I free

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

freedom born of nothingness...
ah... the echos of silence!
well formed and conveyed, brother.
