The Om, the Grand Som;
nearby the Carthusian monks
bask in the grand silence
of the La Grande Chartreuse
contemplating the great
Lover of mankind.
Silence is indeed what
Western culture desires
without knowing...

And it was your poem Diamond that inspired it. Check your "replies" for this very "Reply".
I\'m a bit embarrassed - to presumably think so highly of my own reply and to post it as a stand alone poem...
I love this Buddhist-referencing poem, Gary, and agree whole-heartedly with the comment on unappreciated silence! To me, it is the most sacred of sounds. Well done!
Thank you Louis!
Lovely poem and suggestion Gary!
Thank you WriteBeLight!
Gorgeous offering, Gary. Going into my little bank of favorites. Be still, and know...
Thank you Heather!
