Personally, I think L7 and 8 are your best lines, I really like them, but they contrast pretty sharply with the first three lines, each of which is pretty long. Have you thought about breaking them up into shorter pieces?
Resonate
The ambience caresses and sculpts the pursuing mind
Black waves fill, surround and reflect muted light
highlighting and empowering through acknowledgement and
trying to see
not able to be shown but only
experienced
Give up, be
you are free
White noise, diminished
yet drowns those who cannot be cleansed
with sorrow
