only silence saves

at the beginning and at the end there is always silence

so the Master whispered to our anxious hearts 

silence gives the meaning to the entire symphony

the silence that we cherish in our hearts, assigns a meaning to our existence here and now

the silence that dwells in our soul indicates the right direction to follow for our wandering through the streets of the world

the silence draws near to human beings the verse, the poetry of the eternal mystery

is the silence before and after the symphony that allows us to tear down 
the barriers of space and time
and leads us to consider that we all are saved now
over the noise, beyond the barriers and the walls that we build around ourselves

is the silence that saves us now

because

at the beginning and at the end there is always silence

so the Master whispered to our anxious hearts 
for the last time
and with this final lesson he departed from the world
to continue his silent and sublime song up there
in peace among the stars of the firmament
in silence

because only silence saves
only silence
and so be it

Marco Bo

"It 's silence at the end of a symphony to gives meaning to the symphony itself, and like so is death that gives meaning to life . "
