silence is the language of the enlightened
silence is the dialogue between shadow and shadowed
silence is the background radiation enveloping my song
silence is the final stage of time's lethal assault
silence is the gap between perception and wonder
silence is the tear that connects I to thou
silence is the last refuge of the divine within me
silence is the glossolalia of love
silence is the grace given to resist inanity
silence is the marriage bed of communion
silence is the final resting place of separation
silence is the inner fire of the poet and the saint
silence is the never-ending debate between being and nothingness
silence is the kumara below the earth
silence is the cell division of a fertilised ovum
silence is a sunset at Otaki Beach
silence is the blue of my daughter's eyes
silence is self-expression refined to perfection
