“At last I shall listen”

My past is heavy with
The lifeless
Meaning.
A frightened thought
My fast-approaching future
Is.
I have the body and soul
Of hope completely in my
Thoughts.
I shout at the top of my lungs.
My soul embodies the weight of
Despair.
At last I am now learning the art of listening
to God’s
Voice.
“Son, in your soulful silence is
My fruitful message.”

by Sri Chinmoy (Chinmoy Kumar Ghose)
