The Third Silence

[Tanner]

What we cannot speak about we must consign to silence.
- Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus logico-philosophicus


Zen Master stopped the
Pupil from speaking “ Silence
Has no need of clothes”

The Japanese call
It Moku the Third Silence
Infinite Stillness

I thought Poetry
Was the true astrolabe to
Navigate that realm

Then I found out that
Language was a mare’s nest
Not the journey home

[Johntee]

Tanner? Back again?
Welcome, welcome, thrice welcome
Bound in one haiku

[AlexandratheLate]

[Parkinsonspoet]

I hope you never lose your voice Michael I could not bear the silence

[Tanner]
