The Enigma
“Silence is a source of great strength.”
— Lao Tzu
No beads,
No robes of fine fabric
Or flimsy cloth.
No long hair or matted beard.
Dwelling in neither a cave
Nor mountain cabin,
He sits on a park bench.
Alone. Ignored.
Around him, chaos,
People hurry past
Impatiently, urgently.
The world is in turmoil,
Few recognise it as it is—
A house of cards,
A shared delusion
That binds us,
Draws us inwards
And downwards.
All is not well
With this world.
But—there he sits.
Still. Alone. Ignored.
Focussed inwards.
Finding harmony and peace
When around him there is none.
A lone sparrow stops
And watches him.
