Collective Ghazal
This poem has been written by users from all over the world. for options for contributing your own verses and more.
To understand my words one must know silence,For these words emerge from the womb of silence.
In self-exile I speak to no one but you, beloved:You who are the melodious voice of silence.
If truth needs to be confirmed by perception,How am I to affirm your existence, O Silence?
Where perception fails, love lights the way.The lantern of love is naught but flaming silence.
Meditation is just another ritual, I am aware.True piety is in the act of chanting silence.
Drunkards congregate in the noise of the tavern.The wine they drink though is the wine of silence.
