Silently Will We Bond Together

If one day you don’t feel like talking to anyone,

Call me.

We will be silent.

Silently together we will navigate the mysteries of life,

Silently will we try to solve its riddles.

Silently will we bond together

And bask together in the warm glow of that bond.

Silently will we listen to each other’s pain

And silently reach out to each other for succour.

Silently will we hold each other’s hands

With the full-blooded consciousness

That only such hand-holding will take us all through life’s choppy waters.

Silently will we cherish that moment

Knowing that the sacredness of that moment is all.

Silently will we traverse the universe within

Knowing full well that what we see outside is

Just a reflection of what resides inside ,

And thus together will we embark on

A silent journey to know ourselves.
