Silent Listen

Listen to be silent:
each word has six letters
with the same characters. Together they are strident.

Practice will strike
the cord used in meditation:
a soothing sensation with internal reward.

In the silent spaces
there is a higher voice.
Listen to the choice of divine traces.

Shut down the mind's chatter
and hear another sound.
Let quietude abound to know what can matter.

Be silent and listen
in thoughtless surrender.
Reach spiritual splendor and new status christen.
