Noise

Through this sort of death, find life.
It is opposite thinking.
Become the rain.
Open up. Give away.
Vulnerability is beautiful,
like a person of color in a world of grey.
Release yourself.
You are hiding in the darkness.
Come out of the quiet. Live,
and hear others' voices.
Quietness shows that you only
hear on voice: yours.
Be free of that, and
listen.

The sun blushes at such passionate beginnings.








For my poetry class, we had to write a 'response to a poem'. Weird, right? Well I picked Rumi's 'Quietness', which you can read in the blog right before this one. =) I really liked this poem -- and so did my teacher!
