I heard his silence
I heard his silence,
In the temple of,
One of the nosiest city.
I went in temple with patience,
Being cool and calm,
I sat down for meditation.
Temple was very silent,
I felt his silence,
In that silence I felt his presence.
His presence around me.
His presence made me overjoyed,
I felt, what I want, I got,
I could not imagine how far is his greatness,
But could only feel his vastness,
I could feel his love toward me and imagine it.
Suddenly a light of truth flashed in me,
I saw his smiling face,
And I felt myself a small child,
I ran toward him crying,
And said " father you take me with you,
I want to stay with you,
Please Father please,
Father, please..."
He was still smiling as he was first,
He took me on his arm,
Making me silent with his smiling face,
Yet I continued crying, seeing his smiling face.
Suddenly I felt a shock,
I found myself sitting in a temple.
My hand went to my cheeks and I felt water there,
I realize they were tears,
A sudden thought rose in my soul,
"I felt his silence so powerful,
What if I meet him really then?"
