Shhh

Let the emptiness consume you.
Make your mind an empty cavern.
Let your thoughts float around.

Shut up

Your words are meaningless.
Just a set of sounds.
We don't need them.
Tell me how you feel,
But I don't want to listen.
Show me.

Be quiet

Don't fill the silence.  
Don't break it.
Something so delicate should be appreciated like butterfly wings
Soft and simple.
Don't make things complicated.

Since when did words become so empty?
Since when did peaceful quiet become wrong?
Since when did we lose silence?

Don't be afraid of the hush.
It's Gentle,
Like a friend.
Let it take your hand and guide you to the true meaning of listening.
