Praise Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The most beautiful note is silence
In this silence you are elevated to the divine stage
You are neither a diva nor a maestro
You are just one with harmony
You are in the realm of oneness
No distinguishing features
Just the overwhelming absence of you
And the sacred presence of nothingness
It is the ultimate show of restrain
The display of divine wisdom
It is the illumination of Hope
And the fortification of faith
In Silence, everyone can praise God
And never worry about their voice
Nor their singing skills
It's the sacrifice of the self
That ultimately opens the doors of heaven
The absence of ego
Breaks down the window of mystery
And uplifts you to the summit of Love
It is on this altar of Silence
That the singer and the song become one
And are presented to the Most High
