I DO NOT KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED TO ME
I do not know why it happened to me
I grew silent within myself
I did not want to listen to anyone else
I could not read anymore
I did not want to listen to lectures
Or hear more and more about more and more
I didn’t want to hear anything
I just wanted to be in my own silence
I didn’t want to hear myself either
And I told all the voices inside myself
To stop playing their games
And just be silent
I wanted quiet
To sit and be quiet
And softly think about nothing in particular
To look here and there
To see a tree a sky anything light and undemanding
In silence
I didn’t want to hear anything
Just be in quiet
To sit and hear nothing
Not even myself
To feel the whole world
As if it were in rest and at peace –quiet
To be just be in silence in quiet at rest
Within myself and without anything
