Fasika Ayalew - Silence Spoke

Through a settled spirit
A wandering mind,
And calm of my conscious
Inside my head I heard silence
Saying,
“From the beginning of time, till eternity
The sun never says ‘you owe me’
For giving life and its warmth
Through its light to planet earth”

Silence spoke,
“Never expect from others to get
For into pain dreams will melt
Your inner light will turn to darkness
To shine as it ceases
When there is no one something to give
Even a smile…
So learn to be like the sun”

Silence spoke
Through its unspoken words
That sprung from the depth of my conscious
As I contemplate in the abyss of silence
This great saying-
“Even after all these years the sun never said to the earth you owe me”
Never expect.
