A Silence That Conversed

A man wearied by the commotion everywhere,
sought a quiet place to be found nowhere,
silence eluded him,
amidst thoughts that drowned him,
implored the Gods to liberate him.

A mentor then arose,
inviting him to seal the uproarious,
believing he avered assuredly,
wishing for an incredible abiding calm,
he heard the seas when there was none in sight.

The waters calmed opening to a rhythmic pace,
a white blaze of light then arrived,
one that matched an unlimited pillar,
small chimes playing unceasingly,
staring at him as if it was only the beginning.
