By MAYA GREEN
Fully living through life —
Passionate, present, involved;
Immersed in the goings ons, and —
Of the flows and ebbs,
Yet is in, and outside, of it.
Poetic from the first to the last,
Making music, and dancing
Also composing songs —
But always muted and silent, too
As a figure of speech.
That is, not saying anything
hurtful;
Never saying anything bad,
Nor being pretentious, nor hypocritical —
Only muted silence.
Always mindful of the power;
Of the voice, to cause hurt,
And of the healing balm —
Of the meditational,
Of the quietude, and just silence.
