May I listen for the silence between thoughts
Yet, these thoughts That overwhelm you Will not be silenced Placated or directed To run away from them Is to keep suffering the pain Of encountering them and the Bewilderment that ensues from Their dawning implications But if you can bear to face them Instead of only half hearing or Seeing what irritates or pleases you If you can invite them in Their aggressive insistence Their violence and impatience Reveals a new voice: That of your own
