In Silence

​

A guide has entered this life in silence.

His message is only heard in silence.

​

Take a sip of his precious wine

And lose yourself.

Don’t insult the greatness of his love,

For he helps all those who suffer, in silence.

​

Polish the mirror between the breaths.

Go with him, beyond words.

He knows your every deed.

He is the one

who moves the wheel of heaven, in silence.

​

Every thought is buried in your heart;

He will reveal them one by one, in silence.

​

Turn each of your thoughts into a bird

And let them fly to the other world.

One is an owl, one is a falcon, one is a crow.

Each one is different from the others

But they are all the same in silence.

​

To see the Moon that cannot be seen

Turn your eyes inward

and look at yourself, in silence.

​

In this world and the next,

Don’t talk about this and that;

Let him show you everything,

shining as one . . . in silence.
