The Silent One Poem by ritty patnaik

i hear
a subtle heartbeat
when i wake up from a reverie
of a sound of silence.

beyond mind,
who calls? beyond immagination.
sleep eludes me
and in each nerve, i feel
a strange current
pushing me to a world
of silence.

the call of silence
wordless! gesture of sound
silently forms,
into words of love,
endearment,
and worship.

i heard its call,
in the beginning of creation.
in the five elements,
sustaining force
of every being
animates and inanimates,
in earth, sky, water fire,
in the wind,
in the clouds,
in the vast cosmos,
and the supreme
conciousness.

i felt you,
in the valley of flowers,
in sands of time,
in the desert.
your presence felt,
in peak of concentration
and the flow of nectarine bliss
in the realm of solitude.

you are ever present,
in the vast field of
food grains.......and
the yellow mustard fields,
in the heart of the leaves of fall,
and the barren, jejuned earth
of the mind dessert.

silence embraces me,
in the darkness of night,
consoles, when i am lonely,
and rests peacefully, the mind
resisting, thoughts of
negativity, of life.

heard its call,
from four coners,
of blissfull eternity, unbelievable
call always remains in me.

which is the beginning!
where is the the end
of the call of silence?
silently, silence reverberates,
wordless words murmuring,
in silence of meditation,
for the manifestation, of
its goalless goal
of ever etherial voice of
THE SILENT ONE!
