The Quiet Beyond
The calm, stable and eternal part of the mind is always with us.
The Quiet Beyond
There is a place beyond the storm,
where thoughts dissolve, unshaped, unborn.
A silent depth, a boundless space,
where time drifts slow and leaves no trace.
It waits between each breath we take,
a hush beneath the thoughts we make.
Not lost, not found, just always there,
a whispered hush, a silent prayer.
No name can hold its endless flow,
no voice can teach what it must show.
Yet in its hush, the world expands,
unfolding like an open hand.
Not grasping, striving, loud, or proud,
not tethered to the fleeting crowd.
It simply is—profound, unbound,
the stillness where true peace is found.
