And
I just nodded my head
Perhaps, the silence was the answer
The silence; extreme silence
Where nothing comes and goes
Nobody dares to hear the sound of silence
The scattered dreams, pains, gains, joy
Relentlessly striving towards silence
The sign of nothingness
That persists here and there
Nowhere and everywhere
Leading the anonymous to the ocean of emptiness
The emptiness within; in and out
All the way in fully fledged environs
Where nothingness exists
And
Emptiness rules.
