The Silent Song

The quieter life gets,
The more I am filled with music,
The noisier it gets,
The silence is deafening.
The race isn’t mine,
I am born to wander…
I am restless when I work,
So, I only do what I love,
And the less I do, the more I see,
Unseeingly,
I know many things,
These aren’t life’s lessons,
They come from behind closed eyes,
In that stillness of desire,
The music plays again,
I can’t lose it for money,
Or for any worldly gain,
No, I can’t drop my consciousness,
How can I?
Life is only living when I cease to be ‘me’.

life is when u are "U".

when i am working
i am not "me",

it is the shadow

which is visible
when the Sun is over my Head..
