Silence

There is something very profound about silence .
However, we may try to experience silence.
         When we watch a serene, tranquil lake,
         What we see  is silence .
When we watch steady, tall trees,
What we see is silence .
         When we hear the waves of sea roar,
         between two roars, what we hear is silence.
When we see the sunrise and sunset,
What we feel is silence.
         When we see a child in deep sleep,
         What we experience is silence.
We may give different names to this feeling –
Peace, poise, stillness, serenity or silence.
         If we learn to savor the moments filled with silence,
         we can experience in them, life’s very essence.
