Silentium!

Keep quiet, hidden, and concealed.
Your feelings and your dreams be sealed
Let them inside your soul in depth.
To rise and settle for their best

So, speechless, like the stars at night
Admire, follow, praise and keep it quiet.

How can the heart express its rants?
How can a stranger comprehend?
Will he digest your spirit’s life?
The thought that's uttered is a lie!

Exploding, you will muddle rills.
Feed on, but silent stay, and still.

Get skills to live in inner space,
The whole world is in your soul’s place,

Full of magic thoughts’ unspoken flows,
That will be deafened by external blows

The day’s rays will disperse thoughts’ shoots:
Admire their songs by staying mute!
