silence

silence
speeding down
screaming tracks
damp dark tunnels
of restless mind
.
silence
frothing bubbles
trapped under
clear thin ice
of brittle memories
.
silence
on toothpicks
with cheese cubes
with wine
.
silence
sticky dew drops
on webs of thought
.
silence
hanging on a noose
courting death
.
silence
dead and limp
pickled in spirit
.
silence
that touch
without feel
.
silence
i look in the mirror
find no image
.
silence
.

The defening weight of silence buries all cacophony of so called life and the white blaze of quiet fills eternity........ nerves and sinews rest.... another day, another silent celebration...

M: Soory about the C and S. But Sahyadri has put it beautiful words.

Noise is life, Silence is Nirvana :)

Sahyadri: wow!
