With My Heart's Ears, I Hear Poem by Mohammad Younus

With my heart's ears, I hear
sounds inaudible to others.
I know I am at least
an equal note in this cosmic song.

Yet the silence that fills me here,
it quietly unravels my supposed independence.
From somewhere deep within my core,
a sound stirs—
wild, primal, fierce,
sharp nails scratching, gnawing
at the walls of my false self.

Divine guardians surround me,
circling, guarding, freeing,
their music shattering the unseen loops
that bind me to my mind.

Magnificently, they liberate—
until I wonder why I speak of it at all,
this symphony of silent sounds
rising from my own well,
where my true essence waits.
