Description
Silence is words bravely stilling themselves
Struggling to listen to the silent wisdom of the cosmos
Silence is eloquence pacing the corridors of the mind in serene steps
Pitched to the dizzying heights unreachable by words
Silence is universe in intimate conversation with itself
Celebrating silence with song and song with silence
As we serve song in sound, but digest it in silence
Unhappily hopping from branch to branch of a mimosa tree
Tlhantlhagane the bird saw his death ciphered in the hostile, unpitying clouds
Scudding the blackened heights in lightning combat manoeuvres
From nowhere, the frogs happily raise the mightiest croaky chorus
Singing praises to the deadly storm that conquered the feathered martyr
The universe weeps and smiles at once with misery and ecstasy
When will humanity learn to suffer and to rejoice in one heartbeat?
