Analysis of ~ le silence est d'or ~
The stem of pure thought wilts,
overwhelmed by a cacophony
of white noise; a virtual barrier
to my sacred sanctuary of silence.
Unmasked, I slip inside myself,
far from these cloying vines, move
gently away from perceived reality.
The pendulum of time falters,
its heartbeat serves no purpose here.
In the deepening silence I become
a blade of grass, a breath of wind,
the symmetrical countenance of a flower,
its face upturned, kissed by the sun.
I am the raindrop as it plummets down,
cavorting with the wind. I am one
with this planet, watching nature's gentle
beauty unfold, light years away from
the hustle of humanity's endless chatter.
Renewed, I drift back into consciousness
poised and ready to settle behind
these mortal eyes once again, sated
by my journey into a world where
words will always remain superfluous.
