Silence
Moonbeam’s Silence
When silence is overcome by love, it turns into a song,
When a song becomes obstinate it turns into noise,
When a thought is sure of itself it turns into a word,
When a word feels like dancing it turns into music,
And when music goes a-dreaming it turns into silence,
Silence is the beginning. Silence the end
from the works of Lewanae Falsafi, « a young Pathan poet
who has published nothing though he has written much »
