Silence is a welcome sound
Everything else is substance bound
Quiet and still, perception is clear
Short rest I find, and I hold it dear
Slow declaration, realizing reality
Finding beauty in life, and all its frailty
Thin glass, cracked and shaking
Underground, cave-ins in the making
Noise vibrating the world around
Shaking the air, trembling the ground
Open your eyes and stop the noise
Stay your hand and still your toys
There's a place where only grass whisper
A land where you pillow is the greatest kisser
The land lies not apart from ours
But, it is such, only without scars
Listen closely, and you will hear
The scars shed a diamond tear
Look close, there's still loveliness
Look hard, it's easy to miss
Silence is slow, disguised rest
Try it yourself, put it to the test
Shatter the noise with utter silence
They won't understand, and think it violence
Close your mind to the world around
Look inside for the joy waiting to be found
Problems don't exist where they don't matter
Leave them behind, and they will fall to tatter
We're finding answers to problems that don't exist
I think the reason to live has been sorely missed
Wait for your reward, it is calling
Come to its rescue, forever falling
