We are the Emptiness
In which Silence resides
And from this Silence
Emerges a Sound
A joyful, rich, fulfilling Sound
Swelling with
Waves
of
Rhythm
Melody
Harmony
Lapping on the shore of our Being
A gentle Touch
Crashing onto the shore of our Being
A full and loving Embrace
Then . . .
Dissolving back into
The Silence . . .
which resides
In the Emptiness
We Are

Words inspired by Beethoven’s Sonata “Hammerklavier” – Adagio
Heard during the Seven Day Retreat with Rupert Spira, Garrison Institute, October, 2021
Beautiful, Will. Great to see you again!
Hi Steve, Thanks for your comment and it was more than a pleasure to meet up with you and Aileen again. Your song will linger until the next time we see each other.
Ah, Gorgeous, P. Playing in this luminous tide with you.
The tide goes out
The tide goes in
Two Peas in a Pod
Just sit and grin
You’re a wave and I’m a wave
The whole sea in between
But then you wave and then I wave
The sea has never been
Elegant.
I love this, William. It’s so you, radiating music. I listened to the Beethoven. I loved that you in this poem at least have captured the duality of the silence and the sound. Me, I’m working on a daily nanosecond of en-lite-enment, and it’s al lot better than nothing. Much love. Henry
Each second an eternity
Eternity but a blink
Of an eye
