Silence

The Language Between Light and Darkness

After every act of creation,
there comes a soundless breath.
Not the end —
but a stillness so alive
that even light seems to pause and listen.

The universe, having said “Be,”
now simply is.

In that silence,
God breathes.
And for the first time,
man neither asks nor speaks —
he simply knows.

Rumi said:

“Speech is a veil between two silences.”

Silence is the word before words,
the nothing from which every meaning is born.
Perhaps the secret of existence lies here —
in the space between light and darkness,
where there is no sound,
only pure awareness.

Physics tells us:
before every vibration,
there is a field of absolute stillness —
the zero-point field.
And maybe that is what mystics meant
by the peace before creation,
the moment when light has not yet chosen to shine.

In silence we draw closest to God,
for He too creates in silence —
not with sound,
but with presence.
Every thought that rises from silence
is born from truth itself.

So let your words fall quiet,
that the real voice may be heard.
For sometimes,
the answer of the universe
resides in the stillness
between your two breaths.
