Shhh!
Are you listening? Truly listening? If yes, then why can't you hear it? If no, then why don't you try?
Did you hear that? Yes you, the one reading this very line. Perk your ears for a minute. Catch that, did you? No? Very well, listen closely. Empty your mind . . . let only your breaths punctuate every passing second And let your eyelids cloak the tired away from your eyes. Do you hear it? That sound? It’s not out there, or within Not the ambient cacophonies Nor the slowed hammerings of your twisted heart . . . What is it that you are trying to hear so clearly, you ask? The answer lies in the void . . . Yes! That’s what I’ve been trying to make you listen to all this time! But you’ve been so occupied with presumptions imaginations scenarios stories and expectations . . . That the silence of your heart and of your meek thoughts just came crashing down on its weak-kneed foundations. Not that it matters but the silence within you was always deafening . . . And those ears have always been abuzz with sensations, right? Shhh! Don’t speak now! For void does not negate the void.
