Question

A doctor checks your pulse for clues,
In silent rhythms, answers bloom.
No words are needed, none are found,
In silence, health’s secrets sound.

A hungry child pulls your hand,
Her question clear, no need for plans.
No words are needed, none are found,
In silence, love’s echoes resound.

When answers lie beyond our speech,
In silence, truths we often reach.
Is that why he keeps his peace,
In silence, questions find release?

Consciousness

Hunger and thirst, anger and joy,
Invisible, intangible, yet they deploy
In the heart, in the mind, ever so real,
Proof of our essence, our soulful appeal.

Unseen, yet undeniable, they reside,
Much like consciousness, deep inside.
Life, a tapestry of moments, diverse and true,
Each one a thread, woven through you.

Measure

In the vast expanse of time, why confine?
Patience, an essence, transcends the line.
Love’s depth, immeasurable, divine,
Levels and measures, why define?

Whisper soft or shout aloud,
To one who hears beyond the crowd.
Ditch the scales, let life unfurl,
Yours to cherish, a precious pearl.
