Enter The Silence

do not

fear

the silence

it is anything

but quiet

but

do not enter

if you are not

ready to

hear what

you have never

had ears to hear

you are deaf

from wandering

your small

corridor

of noise

take off

your earphones

file

the remote

set your face

toward the riot

vibrating

in the profound

depths of silence

split the bud

and let the flower

open

the center

will release

mysterious

fragrances

that confound

the predators

roaming

the surface

of your mind

turn to the

core of your

core

whose press

pours out

virgin oils

to anoint

you for burial

this will

be your

beginning.
