“Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter;”
Yes, after that post about that beautiful photograph I have been reading a bit of John Keats off and on. And perhaps I may still do a sequel post about the film, Bright Star.
But for some reason, today these beautiful lines from Keats’ poem ” Ode on a Grecian Urn” made me think of a sweet melodious song…yes, from an old Hindi film.
Listen. Listen to the Silence.
Silence of the Heart. Listen carefully.
Not easy. Not easy at all. But this is what we must do.
If we really want to know.
The Sounds of Silence. The Sounds of the Heart.
Sweet. Melodious. Gentle. Calm. Blissful. Peaceful.
And yes, Silent. Can almost go Unheard.
Meant for the hearts attuned to hear the silences.
Sing them. Sing them to the Sweet Silence Within.
Like a Silent Prayer.
A Prayer for Someone Far Away.
A Silent Wish. A Silent Dream.
A Silent Hope. A Silent Love.
