To listen, still the mind

I want you to stop and listen,

I mean truly listen

Let yourself out of you illusory prison,

Held captive by thoughtd and words

That leave us missing

The true reality created when we actually listen,

And discover real silence

When you still the mind,

And let thoughts just pass by

Where in mindfulness you reside,

No thoughts, no words, nothing

That’s when we find ourselves

Just listening to silence, true silence,

That’s where the answers to life reside

In the silence in which we abide,

Still the mind, let go of conceptual time

You will then cease to be blind,

And see life defined by our third eye

Listen by stilling the mind,

And true love and reality you’ll find

In the present moment in this silence sublime.

    Very beautiful message! It has become so hard to listen, to look within, to just be what we are! The mind is restless, jumping from one branch to another. There needs to be a pause. A pause to remind us what is really important!

  2. I agree with M’bolla, having time to stop and reflect and do nothing is important. Nice poem 🙂
