Regret to rehearse
12 February 2016
The memory
Pregnant with silence
Fluttering
Inside heart
There is a fork where we part
Twining in futures
They speak soft
Of renewed endings
Rising high
Skidding fast
I lurch beyond my own past
Of broken treasures
Unchained hymns
Sing to my bosom
Chances slim
Where I meet
The tidings of our defeat
Suspended in air
The waves roll
Breaking on the shores
Where they flee
Thoughts that breathed
Invented by you and me
A world sprawled hopeful
We kill dreams
Mindless death’s tailors
Sewing firm
Soul will squirm
We merely tighten the seams
Threads pins and scissors
My mind blank
A throbbing beat haunts
Heart that sank
Into spleen
While everyday wiping clean
Memory of the taunts
Careless hands
They shuffle shaking
A loose deck
Where cards curse
Folly of their own making
Regret to rehearse

I don’t know what it’s lime to have a blank mind or a memory pregnant with silence. I do experience external silence for most of the day, but never inner silence. This is beautiful poetry.

Thank you Thomas. I am sure you must experience inner silence though perhaps you are not fully aware of it. I find it impossible to have full moments of external silence and not even one moment of inner silence. Perhaps you don’t catch yourself thinking about that when it happens 😀

You are welcome, Geetha. I am pretty sure my mind never silences. I may sone out, but that means I am not paying attention to the outside world. The cogs are always moving. I’ve tried meditation, however, it never worked because I was thinking about how silence int he mind would sound 🙂

Ah ah ah, that is epic. Have you focused also on that strange noise that comes within your head when you put on headphones? It sounds like an untuned radio in the distance. I used to get random thoughts as well when I first meditated but with that technique, I was able to drown out all thoughts. After that I focused on my breathing in a very rhythmic way and now I can find inner silence whenever I need it to regenerate or just be by myself even in a crowd.

I have tried everything. Nothing works. I am sure I could be a case study for some meditation PHD 🙂 Perhaps my quiet time comes between lids falling and opening, tough I highly doubt it according to the dreams I have 🙂
