\ud83c\udf39WHEN I TAKE THE VOW OF SILENCE\ud83c\udf39<\/p>\n
When I take the vow of silence<\/p>\n
To remain enlocked with my Beloved<\/p>\n
In the arms of His everywhereness,<\/p>\n
I shall be busy listening to His symphony<\/p>\n
Of creation’s bliss songs, and beholding hidden<\/p>\n
wondrous visions.<\/p>\n
Yet I shall not be oblivious of you all.<\/p>\n
I shall mutely watch you<\/p>\n
Walking o’er me in the fresh grass- blades<\/p>\n
And seeing me in my living leafy presences.<\/p>\n
I shall behold you with mothering tenderness<\/p>\n
Through every crimson blossom<\/p>\n
That wears a blush of love to bring you delight.<\/p>\n
I shall caress you with the enfolding breeze<\/p>\n
To relieve your worries and fears;<\/p>\n
And enwrap you in sun warmth<\/p>\n
When the chill of delusive loneliness strays in your heart.<\/p>\n
When you gaze at the ocean<\/p>\n
You will be looking right at me,<\/p>\n
United with my Beloved on the altar of the horizon,<\/p>\n
Sky- canopied with silver rays o’er the azure<\/p>\n
wavy hazy sanctuary.<\/p>\n
I shall not speak except through your conscience.<\/p>\n
I shall persuade only through your love<\/p>\n
And in your heart’s longing to seek the Beloved only.<\/p>\n
I shall tempt you \u2014- but with the sole temptation<\/p>\n
To enjoy the Beloved’s love alone.<\/p>\n
Forget me if you will, but not my Beloved!<\/p>\n
Remembering Him, you cannot forget me.<\/p>\n
