Moments of silence

Man invents war.
Man discovers peace.He invents war from without.
He discovers peace from within.War man throws.
Peace man sows.The smile of war
is the flood of human blood.The smile of peace
is the love,
below, above.

by Sri Chinmoy

Moments of silence

Celestial

If

You

Had

Known

How we

Would

Have

GrownHad you

Still wandered

All those years alone

And left me here on my ownFor when i looked into your eyes

It was so apparent that we were home

And together as bright as celestial skies

Yet you took a travelers path to find

Silence which remained behind

Was nothing other than

This love which

Is divine

by Silent Lotus

Moments of silence

Looking at my life
I see that only
Love
Has been my soul’s companionFrom deep inside
My soul cries out: Do not wait, surrender
For the sake of
Love.

By Rumi

All The Faces
by Silent Lotus


One
Day
All the faces

I have worn

Shall be painted upon the pages
The biographer has drawn Yet my image
You shall
Not find there For my souls reflection
Is a vibrance
Of silence
Thin
Air

Moments of silence

The past is already past.
Don’t try to regain it.

The present does not stay.
Don’t try to touch it.

From moment to moment.
The future has not come;
Don’t think about it
Beforehand.Whatever comes to the eye,
Leave it be. There are no commandments
To be kept;
There’s no filth to be cleansed. With empty mind really
Penetrated, the dharmas
Have no life. When you can be like this,
You’ve completed
The ultimate attainment.

by Layman P’ang

The Key

While
We waited
For freedomTo take us away
From our fearWe searched
The earth
For loveAs we
Knew
The
Key To be
Is the
SilenceWhich
Led us
Here

Hurdles

When There are
No longer
Any crowds
To cheer you onFor it seems that
All the hurdles
Are behind Rather
Than
BeyondYou shall find
The sweet silence of divine love
To guide you on

Moments of silence

Wings

By: Sri Chinmoy

My heart longs to be dissolved
In wings of air
And fly in the unhorizoned sky.I long to open up
All my heart doors
In the delight of my liberation - life.
May my life begin
With the breath of a new hope

Poem about Meditation
by Thich Nhat Hahn

To meditate does not mean to fight with a problem.
To meditate means to observe.Your smile proves it.
It proves that you are being gentle with yourself, that the sun of awareness is shining in you,
that you have control of your situation.You are yourself,
and you have acquired some peace.

Moments of silence

Home
by Silent Lotus

Like Cracks
In the stone There are places
That are spaces Of pure silence
That let Us know

We are home

Moments of silence

The Hush
by Silent Lotus The Nature of being
Leaves out
Nothing At allAnd As I
Sit here
In silence The Beauty
And strength
Of the hush
Is
Like the
Powerful
Rush

Of
The
Greatest
Waterfall
