Silence
Poetry
Silence, if you can see in a color
the veins on my arms, crawling away to find solace,
prank lizards lined up on the ceiling
lips drawing blood from a blue heart,
the water in my body starting to freeze
unshed tears in the corner of my eyes
a sky moving farther away as I get closer
a planet orbiting in space, forever,
if you ever cut open my arteries
it gushes out to hug your soul
undevastated
I sat on its banks
then, one day, I started walking on the frozen water
the ice cracked under my feet
and blue, it started flowing.
About this poem: I did a solitude experiment for a while once. This poem shares my experience of embracing silence and exploring the power of solitude. Solitude is a powerful yogic practice that helps us connect with the beyond and experience divinity.
