Stillness does not mean absence. Often, it is the very ground from which presence arises….. deeper, older, and more luminous than sound. This poem wanders into that hush, not to linger in silence, but to walk through it, and beyond it…… into a world quietly unfolding its secrets to those who dare to listen and to wonder. Within it lies a single, rare word…… a doorway, not just a definition.

The trees don’t ask why they reach the sky,
They simply rise, both calm and bold.
The stars don’t speak….. yet still they shine
And write in fire what can’t be told.

The hush is not an empty space,
But something waiting to begin…..
A breath before the world takes shape,
A truth that lives beneath the skin.

The seed, alone beneath the ground,
Still dreams of sun, and breaks the stone.
So why not we? So why not now?
What grows in silence stands alone.

Not all that’s real can be explained,
Not every path is sharply drawn.
The road may twist through shadowed woods…..
Yet always leans toward some kind dawn.

The flowers bloom without a crowd,
Their petals whispering to the breeze.
There’s grace in things that go unseen,
In quiet hopes and bending trees.

The moon, it asks for nothing back,
It only glows and gently shows
How even night, with all its dark,
Can carry light the silence knows.

We are not lost….. we’re listening.
Not small……. just waiting to begin.
And stillness is the sacred door
To all that moves and stirs within.

And some things shine, numinous,
As though the stars themselves had stirred.
Too vast to name, too deep to grasp,
Yet known without a single word.

Beyond the edges of silence lies not the end of language, but the beginning of presence. To sense the numinous…. that awe-filled tremor before the unknowable……. is to remember we are part of something far more intricate, more beautiful, and more alive than reason alone can tell. In such moments, life doesn’t shout. It glows.
