It’s only in the moments of silence that I listen to my true self
It’s only in the moments of stillness that I feel the feelings that I have never felt
The voice, the longing till now shunned by the walls of my pride
Buried so deep that I did not know they even existed inside
Do I feel completely alive? Like the burst of the first rays that fall on a bud
Or do I feel damp like timber that wonders what is its real life purpose
What rests inside me I cannot see
Till I lift the veil of thoughts that surround me
And then I brave to go deeper than my own feelings
To experience the lightness
And that’s also when I touch my deepest of longings
Hardwired inside me… to connect, commune and to be of service
This is my voice I had never heard before
This is my longing that I knew was never mine to own
