 <title>finding silence</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;dear silent lotus,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thank you for your kind comment and greetings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i love reading your poetry.  i have noticed when i am in deep meditation and reach that state, sometimes it is only for a few seconds, but it is a state of complete and utter silence, a void, a nothingness. it is here that i feel a peace beyond understanding.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;warm smiles back to you,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;deborah&lt;/p&gt;

as i sit in silent meditation
swirls of incense burn beside me

over and over the mantra repeats itself
until my cluttered mind is clear of all thought

make me an instrument of thy peace lord
make me an instrument of thy peace

like a white cell summoned to infection
my heart is drawn to those in need of peace 

i hear brother Baghdad calling out in pain</description>
