Hold the Noise


If you speak, speak truthfully,

If you think, think joyfully,

If you do, do lovingly.


Otherwise,

Experience the bliss of being

The silence holding the noise,

The stillness holding the action,

The context holding the content,

The presence holding the distraction.


Experience the blessed paradise

Of melting into the background.


Experience the gloriousness

Of being the sky that holds the stars,

Instead of the star

That tries to shine brighter.


Experience the loveliness

Of not adding to the noise,

But holding the noise,

In space,

In love,

In silence.
