Silence

Silence is the art of living,
Abstain from the torture of life
So that language sets a mark
On life.
Silent beings remark on the infinite void
Called the universe
That God created, in six periods.
Hell has been refused by the blazing fire,
This blue fire of hell is not earthly,
Yet silent beings taste never anything
But the void of the Earth,
They peacefully conduct their affairs,
For the golden art of silence is a safe moment
To accomplish.
