LIFELINE POETRY PROMPT/SILENCE

Vibrating Quietness

A silence that sounds

I had surrendered myself to a non-speaking condition, just being in contact with now-s where sound seems to be in omission. But, even in silence, I always hear something; the music of the spheres is in permanent acting. At some point, a speech started within that “orchestra’s” playing; a deep toned sex-less voice talked to my inner hearing.

You seem soundless, but in fact, you produce music; just by being, thinking, breathing, moving your physic. Silence is full of rhythm; a melody runs as its background. Don’t get confused by the meaning of “sound” on the earthly ground. The law of music is hidden behind all the life’s aspects; it holds this Universe intact, moderating the system’s movements. The ears are great tools, but they’re not enough for detecting the background melody that existence’s musicians are playing. The stars, the animals, the trees, humans; composers of a symphony, producing vibrations that altogether form harmony or disharmony. So, keep enjoying the music of the spheres, but use the ability for good; the skill doesn’t make you superior. It will be heard gradually by the whole human brotherhood.

“I get the message”, I “said” mentally, and after the non-arrogance reminder, I kept swimming within the bliss of the vibrating quietness that makes me brighter.

This is a response to a beautiful prompt that Sahil Patel announces here:

The prompt in brief: “Compose a poem inspired by the concept of ‘silence.’ Explore the profound beauty, depth, or even the unease that can be found in moments of quiet and stillness”.

If you swim in Instagram’s ocean, you’ll find me somewhere here, on a raft like the one Odysseus had. ♾️ Anthi Psomiadou — CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International : Credit must be given to the creator/ Only noncommercial uses of the work are permitted/ No derivatives
