Noise of internal mind

The equivalent of external noise is the inner noise of thinking. The equivalent of
external silence is inner stillness.
Whenever there is some silence around you — listen to it. That means just notice it.
Pay attention to it. Listening to silence awakens the dimension of stillness within
yourself, because it is only through stillness that you can be aware of silence.
See that in the moment of noticing the silence around you, you are not thinking.
You are aware, but not thinking.

Excerpts from Stillness speaks by Ekchart tolle

There is a great joy in being silent if you are not haunted by longings , anger , frustrations , love , lust or even hunger ! Some poets call it peace .It is beautiful , there are no words describing it ! Content .Some get it by doing something they truly love , Gardening , Driving , singing , painting , being with the one they love . Each person must find what they love to do . The satisfaction they get out of it is that of a lessening internal pollution .less noise and more silence it will enable them . For me its a myriad of things I love to do , Reading poetry has been one of them . I love to ride too ! Movement ! Colours , some Vibrant , some soothing ..mostly lively ! full of invigourating charm ! Life is herenow , come live and be silent so others get a chance to live too

The River

From the highest valleys I was born

Tears of god flow in my veins ..

People read their depth ..and called it my own

Anger , silence and laughter too were not mine

Some poets saw their poems too in me ,stories unfold ..yet untold

Lovers entwined their embrace on my shores and called me lovely

Generations ..of pollution and salvations too I contained

They saw a mirror and defined me with what they saw !

helpless I am in this flow ..without shape ..or identity

from the highest to the lowest .. I flow

In a path defined by every step I take

Cold I was.. to the one who was warm ……

And too hot I was for the one frigid !

One million lives ..fishes ,plants and some wild snakes too

Called me their home ,I gave life and took them too

Anger greed envy and love .life death and endless longings

Yet I was none .. and I was all too

A puzzle I was when words graced my ignorance

Without shape or sound ..I let my path shape my colours

It hurts ..but I cried not .bloodless wounds ..silent laughters

Surrendered I was ..to the push and pull of gravity

and rarely ..on a shrine ..to love too I heeded

Sinners and saints ..all grace my heart with equal footings

Procreation and defeacation all gave birth to my elements

Scars and tears of funerals to the flowers of births

Of tender feet of young life to the dead realisation of corpses

From the ignorant to the innocent ..I read them all yet I read none !

Knew it all yet remained ignorant ! Readings lost in sunlight ..

Cold and frozen I am in december ..I would not move or even breath ..

Yet alive is the dead in me ! so I may live to see and flow

On the first ray of morning light ..Sometimes it takes all afternoon

or even days of intense heat .. to help me wake up ..from the deepest of slumber ..

Then I flow again ..carrying memories of frozen days ..

My prayers to flow again was greeted with flowers of spring ..

and graced too was I by the falling wisdom of autumn leaves ..

but I outlived seasons , shapes , and vast infinite expanses

Toward my lover , I flow ..towards her silence and laughter are my journey ..

Only hours .. it has only been hours since I started my journey ..

Yet I seemed to have covered one million eternal miles towards my prayers ..

Towards my very blood and towards my very heart beat !

Wide awake is my lovers hand in entwining me towards eternity

But I was to lose myself and find myself in her ..

In her I was no more ..but with her I was infinitely more ..

She was the death of the ME in me ! and i was born as her !

My memories evaporated in her warmth and i forgot what I tried to remember

We both melted into each other .. River into sea and sea into eternity ..into love ..



Into an icecream !
