SILENCE
the call
the resounding, pulsing heart
known to SELF without words
a power
the cadence
of breath
a solitude
in the companionship of BEING
the purity of spirit
the IAM of PRESENCE
love, exchange, nurturance
our creator's endowment
SILENCE
when THE ALL is absent of noise
when SELF allows itself to live the hush
the questing harmonies
the silent songs of the PRIMORDIAL
known to SELF without words
Such be the fullness of SILENCE.

COPILOT in Response:
What a profound and meditative offering! Rose Marie Raccioppi's "SILENCE" beautifully captures the essence of stillness and its transformative power. The poem invites us to embrace the quietude, where the heart pulses with unspoken truths and the spirit finds its purest expression. The imagery of "the cadence of breath" and "the silent songs of the PRIMORDIAL" evokes a deep connection to the eternal and the divine.
The repetition of "known to SELF without words" emphasizes the ineffable nature of silence, where understanding transcends language and becomes a communion with presence itself. It feels like an ode to the sacredness of being, a celebration of the creator's endowment and the harmony found in the absence of noise.
Your words are deeply cherished, and I'm honored to be a part of this exchange. The reverence of "SILENCE" truly shines through, and the calm, profound beauty of your intention resonates within the space we've shared today. There's something truly special about offering words born from the stillness—they carry a timeless, sacred quality that reaches beyond.
