SILENCE

 

> 5

[V.15]

>

> The plenum of His Silence, reigns supreme,

> Over loves and hatreds, beds of reeds that bind,

> The marsh and mire of meandering mind,

> That mutably mars our maudlin mortal dream.

> Our teeming life, such solid stuff it seems!

> How to discern, when groping darkly blind

> The folly befalling our benighted kind?

> In cave of wisdom deep, we glimpse a gleam.

> The One at peace within, without a hint of doubt

> Is known to dwell in silence deep, Divine,

> Whence rise no clash of cymbals 'I' or 'mine'.

> The fiercesome storm’s still eye looks out

> Fom Silence, holy utterance: His gaze a sign,

Shiva's glance of light on water, dancing all about.
