\nThe Music of Silence<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nI have seized your soul, mighty Spirit of Time!<\/font><\/p>\n

\n Now the sky veers around, iridescent in the cataract of<\/font><\/p>\n

sun-rays,<\/font><\/p>\n

\n Creating the magic city of limpid Even-tide,<\/font><\/p>\n

\n I wandered along river banks seeking to attune my<\/font><\/p>\n

heart-strings <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTo the murmur and music of life voiced by her rippling<\/font><\/p>\n

waves:<\/font><\/p>\n

\n Night infinite descended with silent steps, <\/font><\/p>\n

\nCasting the shadow of her coronet<\/font><\/p>\n

\n Upon the wide sky, flinging the hem of her robe,
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nLaying down the soft darkness upon earth’s expanse.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n Her eyes lost in thought,<\/font><\/p>\n

\nIn this vast Night, plunged in the contemplation of the supreme Void,<\/font><\/p>\n

\n The dark Mother of the world in her ascetic mood lies in, utter trance:<\/font><\/p>\n

\nShe draws deep into her bosom all creatures stilled in peace,<\/font><\/p>\n

\n She plays her role of goddess Sleep,
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nComes and silences the Life’s noise and its ceaseless play.
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nNow is the honeyed banquet of stillness,
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe crowded stars like bees innumerable have flown out and
\ngathered in the heavens:<\/font><\/p>\n

\nTo smear with the rays of light the hearts of creatures,<\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe luminous amphora of cooling ecstasy,<\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe Moon, floats up in the night bejewelled with stars.<\/font><\/p>\n

\nIn this darkness illumined by dream-moonlight<\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe little human soul of mine<\/font><\/p>\n

\nI have drowned into this infinite Life<\/font><\/p>\n

\nAnd have heard the music of Silence.<\/font><\/p>\n
