Quietness
Inside this new love, die.
Your way begins on the other side.
Your way begins on the other side.
Become the sky.
Take an axe to the prison wall.
Take an axe to the prison wall.
Escape.
Walk out like somebody suddenly born into color.
Do it now.
You’re covered with thick cloud.
Slide out the side.
You’re covered with thick cloud.
Slide out the side.
Die,
and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign
that you’ve died.
and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign
that you’ve died.
Your old life was a frantic running
from silence.
from silence.
The speechless full moon
comes out now.
comes out now.
- Jelaluddin Rumi
