Chantry Circuitry Part 11 - Call to Silence
(Click to see full size with greater detail)
Another piece from my New Book "Chantry Circuitry". It is a series of poetic calls and incantations to Mystical and Archetypal figures. The Mandalas are meditation tools constructed from manipulated images of the poetry. Something new this week! I recorded the audio in my own voice - I really feel a bit shy about this so please be gentle about my rasping croak in the comments lol Print and Kindle Version of "Chantry Circuitry" Now Available
Call To Silence
I call to you, O Silence
Below waking, outside dream.
I hang in your embrace,
The players dress the scene.
Thoughts run wild and loose
Observed by my silent sentinel.
I stand aside and choose
If they fade or face potential.
Calm, unburdened observer,
Neither action nor intention.
The denial and the driver,
Turning point of revolution.
Silence, I have kept you far,
Fleeing danger, chasing value.
Your kindness kept the door ajar
To where all things are possible.Happy Tomes Tuesday
