Poetry of Witness, Falastine - Silence

Silence

When silence plays the sacred music
And infinite time become one hour
I realize that nothingness is everything
I realize that a heart with no words
Is a holy place to go to for pilgrimage
That all the words in every language
Become one single whisper of divinity.

When silence fills the room with its essence
I realize that I will fade away just like incense
That what covers my soul is not my presence
That the blocks of my ego is going to evanesce
That God is much more than a word that is written.
