The Silence Beckons - The stillness awaits

By White Feather

The Silence Beckons

The silence beckons
but I just won’t succumb
I keep on blabbering
pretending that I’m dumb

The stillness is there somewhere
I can feel it in my bones
but I can’t stop moving
and emitting aching groans

Afraid of the nothingness
which can only be felt
the mind holds on to something,
anything, so that it does not melt

But what do I hold on to?
Is it the mind?
If I surrender to silent stillness
what will I find?
