Sound of Silence

These lines have been inspired by my vipassna experience. They do not reflect or speak of the technique or it's principles and philosophy, just of my experience. 

The sound of silence has a hum

It beats with your heart along a strum 

Sometimes a whisper, sometimes a drum 

The sound of silence has a tick tock

Moment to moment you hear only the clock 

Brings in the peace as life's cradle does rock

The sound of silence has a step 

It moves along with the rise of each breath 

Only to part at the time of death

The sound of silence is your best friend 

To tame the monkey your mind is, it's ways to mend

To not race, to waver, to fly into fantasy, as it usually tends 

The sound of silence has a wave 

As into your mind the pathways you pave 

Into the treasures where deep secrets are saved 

The sound of silence is where it all begins

Before the noise, the hum of silence rings 

And then starts the final ending...
