my favorite occupation
has been that of
listening to silence
to give shapes
to music singing
with my hands
on top of the colors
that lay already there
to tiptoe in-love
slowing down
my responses
to evade darkness
into the beauty held
inside as the harmony
viable all around

Beautifully expressed, ‘listening to silence.’ It’s my favourite pastime too, although it’s becoming increasingly difficult in big cities. 😊

I too love listening to silence. This poem speaks to me. I especially like the offering in your last stanza,
“into the beauty held
inside as the harmony
viable all around”

So happy to read your comment, silence engulfs us and it’s one step from there to understand oneness, thank you Ali 🌷
