The Silence Renews Me

The Silence Renews Me
As I sink into myself
And I lose the weight of worlds
Liberated of my feverish mind
And released from the drive
To live by calendars and clocks

In this time and space
My life becomes visible and audible again
And the everyday becomes significant:
The warmth of the sun moves through me in waves
I am again target to the raindrop
I am here in the present

In this silence
I can turn into a bird
And shoot into the blue
I become light
And sense the weightlessness of another world
So close to the origin
So close to you .
