Beyond SilenceA Poem by Elaenor AislingWhat is it that lies, beyond the silence of the mind?
What is it?
That rests there Beyond the silence Of the mind? Beyond thought, Beyond dream, Beyond consciousness. Another world, Held in our mind Behind the locked, Barred doors Of waking thought And consciousness. One that we cannot reach By dreams or thought We can only stand And gaze over the wall Into our unreachable Eden. Why is it there? If we cannot reach it? What value has it? If it is unusable? What possessed God To put it there, If it goes untouched? What lives there In that sacred garden? Does God reside there? When we let him in? Or the Devil, When we think ourselves Above God?
