THE SILENCE - THE HEALING POWER.. Joanna Svensson

I have heard the voice of silence
A voice I never heard before
I thought that silence was dumb
I thought it was both deaf and blind

I felt its presense clearly
So comforting it felt, indeed
Imagine, just to be
Alone - together with silence

Far away from all duties
Far away from all doings
Far away from reality
Far away from everyone
Imagine - just silence and me

A so, today - for the very first time
Its voice I heard - it whispered so friendly
-I am the one who have healing powers
When there are too many voices
When there are too many tones
Of different sorts - of different kinds

When you can not think clearly
You mobilize your strength
Your adrenaline is pumping hard
To make it through the day

To manage serving everyone
Living up to others expectations
To smile here and there
Though I most of all
Want to be left alone

I feel so deeply privilegied
To be chosen to hear the voice of silence
The voice that only I can hear
In my secret temple of peace

A temple with heavy wooden gates
That has locked out the outside world
Where I can feel
the healing power of silrnce
It sweeps me calmly
It makes me sense
The basic meaning of life

I truly enjoy my silence
Here in my temple of peace
Where I deliberately closed the gates
The gates to the outside world

Here - where no one enters
No one against my will
Here - where no one enters
No one without my concent
Here - where I can enjoy my silence
And finally can be at peace!
