searching in the spaces
between our words,
speaking words
that have meaning
only in silence

silence heals words spoken, seeking space for meaning words….
Lovely post.
beyond words
spaces fill the void
beyond chaos is calm
in silence is symphony
in the harmony of spaces
the mind transcends
in the symphony of silence
the soul triumphs
Do you know how it is?
in the middle of the night?
When you can hear nothing
And therefore everything?
Like being blind Shekhar,
and therefore seeing so much more?
Like a sailboat lost in the dark at sea
Like that Shekhar I am silent
hoping hoping someone will find me
And all that I see
Do we think in words? Or are thoughts a pre-word world? When we became aware of our thoughts, it seems our thoughts are somewhat wordized, but the time when we are going about our daily lives, it seems thoughts (and phenomena) happen too instantaneously to allow wordization. It seems it is a pre-word level soup which when crystallizes forms words (or before vocalization, wordized thoughts).
Words are presursors then of objects, feelings and ideas (and indeed the entire universal dance for nothing can exist without a word attributed to it!) and are thus the first step to phenomena. Words bring the inside out.
Just my take on words Shekhar.
words are the painters paint
helping to create what energies
are needed to be expressed
the strokes have spaces between the lifting of the brush and the meeting of the canvas
what lies between
is also the silence
…the most powerful part of the expression
Taal (a Beat)
Can be music, only
With the specific
Intervals of silence
Between them.
Without a silence !?
It is mere a sound
And not the music then…
To GJ: Interesting. But what is it about, loneliness or realization? You ideas kind of got lost after the first six line. Or I am not getting it right.
Manas — I think realisation is a lonely place. You reach a place of growing where you stop being able to grow with someone. You must go that journey alone. It’s a necessary part of the evolution of the soul.
In fact i think that’s why i think most evolved people just can’t stay married, unless it’s out of a sense of why break up something that’s plodding along.
Spiritual journeys are all about knowing and never knowing if what one knows is right.
At least thats what i think
Om repeated often
brings you closer to God
So, why does it seem to some
Love means less when I say it more?
A knowing smile
the eyes of beauty told
Pleasing to the heart
hope was never sold
to vagaries of the day
when silence speaks behold!
I fear words
The spirit within me is more real
Than the me this world think it knows
I live in a realm of aura, of Energy and power
I live where creation and destruction starts with words
I fear
lies,slander and gossip
words squandered without worth
opinions discarded like a lost penny
I run away and hide from this lure
To keep the value of my words
Away from the rust,the blood and guilt
And allow the power of universe use mine
The spirit within me is more real
Than the me this world think it knows
Oh I would rather live in fear
Than Losing the fear and thus myself
Your readers make yours posts a fricken poetry competition.
Your poems, thoughts are so deep full of love,silence – restless silence.
silence is good, but at times words
need their place… hope you find all
that you long for in silence or words
as you like it..
Take care

Why word love is discussed more
and felt less…
People who write about love…
actually are the ones who are deprived of it
people look for love…
but are they loving and forgiving themselfs first?
they say love needs to be given…
fine but does love overflows in you so that
you can give?
and people talk about love…
and will continue to talk about it for ages!

Words : Beautiful and so profound !! Love you !
Silence !!!
In that space between our words,
it’s where we find ourselves.
When the mind is quiet,
when there are no thoughts
and no words to be said,
we can hear our own heart talking to us.
We can hear our own soul.
The Infinite is expressed through Silence…
Lots of Love & Regards
