Become Silent And Listen

Become Silent And Listen

you spend your life

worrying about that 

which never happens

have you 

ever thought of death

and why you,

a creature of such beauty

and staggering intricacy,

why you

have been made 

to come

to this unfathomable cosmos

only to perish

at the end?

the sum total 

of your life’s work

and achievement

in the outward

will rot and turn to dust 

like your body

when your spirit flies

so why 

has your Creator

taken all this trouble

with you?

there is a secret

woven in your Design

a unique and exquisite 

mystery

worth every single breath

every detail of your being

every minute of your life

the careful loving pattern

of every atom 

in your body

every pebble

every blade of grass

every leaf

every raindrop

every enigmatic 

miraculous creature 

in this world

sings:

i am the product

of a Singular Genius

and Generosity

and this is why 

i am here

stop your useless worrying

become silent

and listen
