Surrender to the Silence
The sound of flowing water
unravels the restlessness of the heart.
The gentle melody
arriving from somewhere
has no words,
yet it nestles close to the soul.
A human hand touches softly.
It is neither comfort
nor assertion,
but simply
"I am here," a warmth
that conveys this to you.
Even your breathing
becomes soft
like music on this afternoon.
Living
is not about fighting,
but perhaps about
surrendering yourself to the gently flowing water.
So, it will be alright.
Even if today
is a day where you feel
just a little bit tired,
in unseen places,
pure water
will gently wash your heart,
and each note
will circle around you
as if softly touching your loosened hair.
The warmth, too, will surely
remember you.
Please try closing your eyes.
Within the silence where no one else is,
true healing
is quietly holding its breath,
waiting for you.
