In the silence of this eternal night,
My heart stirs, my lips arch a sigh,
This silence has a timeless quality,
As if it knows, what remains unknown.
The harp plays, the crickets sing,
The Ocean roars, the lightening thunders,
Yet, I am parched,
As I gaze across the inky Ocean.
O Moon! Where are thou..
Lend my heart a sliver of your light.
My loneliness is my companion,
Accompanied by the melody of my pain.
Love... you have pierced my heart,
You came as I lay asleep,
You took away the solace of ignorance,
You killed me, yet called that awakening?
My eyes look across the sky,
In the wait for the beloved,
A tear trickles away into oblivion,
In the silence of this eternal night.

"You killed me, yet called that awakening?"
So true - unless you die for your old personality, unless you kill your blind self - ego, you will be never reborn as a new man, as an enlightened being for the Divine reality.
Dear Yusof-den,
if you scroll down from the home page, MysticSaint.blogspot.com with an eye on right hand side (white sections), there will be a list of [Archives] where you can access older posts. They are categorized by month and year.
Peace!
I see the Moon. Where are the stars?
AV, Why do care about the stars? You made
commitment to One, One and One!
Be Quiet! Shush! Silence! Okay. Okay.

Brilliant recital by sanjeev....yes people do find solace in ignorance so true and its an part of reality and which has caused much trouble all around to be ignorant and it just pierced my heart when i read it ...these 2 words...solace in ignorance....Mas'allah
This silence, this moment, every moment, if it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need. There's nothing to believe. Only when I stopped believing in myself did I come into this beauty.
Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, 'Be more silent.' Die and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign that you've died. Your old life was a frantic running from silence. Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.
-Rumi
Silence is my music
Silence is my language
Silence is my eternity
Let me live in tunnel
of eternal silence.
Dear Sadiq,
Thank you for this lovely post!
Kindest wishes,
mo'in
