I have forgotten who I am,
since the sound of silence dissolved
all my pretensions to be someone.
Now, I don't know who I am,
the mystery of Life having dilated my heart
to make it taste a joy
free from all the pleasures of this world.
A joy which has the scent of a timeless love
spreading toward your living heart, my friend.
Do you smell it ?
Do you taste The Same One we are ?
You and me...
having suddenly disappeared
in the sound of silence.

Thank you so much for your comment, dear poetmasterspirit.
Peace and love in our heart... -
Absolutely enlightening! Beautiful selection of words put together in an excellent manner here. I totally loved the first and last stanzas' having read something very simliar hardly a day back. A wonderful collection of the essence of all of us enlightened beings - a little miracle each of God, glows in your words.
All the best,
Charishma

You and me... the same sound in our heart : the sound of silent love.
My dear One... -
dear suryame,
thank you for participating in the contest.
your words of simplicity and beauty resonate within my heart and in the depth of my soul. an inner truth, simple and pure is remembered, clouds of thoughts drift away, the sky is clear again. you have masterfully expressed the essence of your being, the essence of my being, the essence of all being.
the sound of silence is powerful indeed.
dissolving all beliefs.
dissolving all identities.
dissolving all separation.
