SURRENDER TO THE SILENCE

SURRENDER TO THE SILENCE



When troubled in the heart you are,
Your peace of mind is gone;
When you feel that in an abyss,
Suddenly you are thrown;

When all your cries meet simply a
Never ending silence;
When none is bothered about you,
Even as a pretence;

When music of the olden days
Is now to you a noise;
And in the worldly drama you
Find hard to keep your poise;

Then what you need is to retreat
In silence of the mind
And listen effortlessly to
The voices you there find.

Of all the voices craving for
Your inward attention,
A voice is present all the time
And needs special mention.

Just listen and surrender to
That one voice of silence.
For truly it is His own voice,
The voice of your conscience.
