Listen without speaking,

Open your mind to the network of intangible colors, 

Let the emptiness wash over in a cleansing tide of nothing. 

What is heard is unspoken,

What is spoken will be unbroken, 

What is quiet is peace, 

What is alone is amiable silence between friends.

When words fail to speak, let silence answer,

Let silence listen, 

Let silence break the impossible, 

Let silence stir your compassion.

The world is ablaze with the brainless flocks of chittering people, 

Speaking is worthless to deaf souls, 

Souls without empathy, 

Souls that are empty. 

What brings an unhearing world to listen? 

What can reach the farthest shadows of an empty shell? 

What may touch the frozen minds of another?

When all seems lost, remember who you are, 

Remember all the impossible and amazing things you have done,

Remember you are hard wired to weather a storm,

You may cry on the way, 

Let the tears come,

Let the tears cleanse your heart, 

Let the tears speak their truth. 

What speaks is truth and untruths, 

What speaks is open and invisible, 

What speaks is empty and unknown,

What silence speaks is hidden, 

What silence speaks is wonderful, 

What silence speaks is understanding. 

So let silence embrace what you never have known, 

Listen closely and the silence will guide you through the unknown.
