Engagement & Resignation
The Rest

            Whispers       

             The world turns

             'round a single point

             And if you could hear

             The the convergent sound of many paths

             The mountains would speak

             As the wind dances on

             Through countless valleys.

             This orb becomes an instrument

             In the heavens.

             It sings a tune that plays just below silence.

             Just above wanting.

             In between being and becomming.

             Just outside of living and dieing.

             Listen if you can

             Beyond every sense you possess

             To the whispers  of  clouds.
