we humans do not need
(if ever you ask me)
more sustained dialogue,
more voicing of opinions,
more inclusive debates,
more elaborate theories,
overturning of dogmas,
and shifting of paradigms –
as much as we need
to let our heart
be inhabited by silence,
a quiet and simple awareness
of things as they are,
as they manifest,
beyond words, simply
in their being present to us –
a silence wherein
we can see, and listen,
and only listen,
without having to answer,
assent or disagree.
simply to listen
to the silence of life
that needs no words to be.
