Singing Silence

Singing Silence

All the world and its thousands

upon thousands of parts

is interconnected far beyond

the human capacity

to perceive or understand it.

I drive to coffee everyday looking

around me in utter amazement

and then I sit quietly drinking my cups

of coffee struck speechless as I marvel

at how finely and beautifully the fabric is woven.

The richly patterned cloth extending

through you, all around you

and as far into the distance

as your minds eye can see, hums softly

a beautiful and gentle song; A singing silence

that you can hear when you still the train

of ideas and thoughts streaming through your head.
