The Consumption Of Silence Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In the world of scarcity
It is unheard of to be fully embellished with divinity
In the house of sagacity
It is normal to be fully satiated with life
The abundance of life is everywhere
And the tools to dig out the fruits of the spirit are everywhere
One needs to learn the art of the ancient monks, seekers and dreamers
The consumption of Silence is not a luxury
It is a necessity on the path of the everlasting life
The substance of life is fully prepared
For a billion tons of Silence
You have to pack every ounce of your being with Silence
Until your whole being becomes silent
This is the job at hand
In every avenue of life, take some time off
To refill the emptiness within
To chew the cud of Silence
The consumption of Silence is not madness
Silence is the path of Light
And with Silence, the way home is cleared
Silence is the only form of the divine substance
That is found scattered everywhere
With Silence, comes peace, wisdom, hope and Love
Silence is the substance of the divine in the universe
