I posted a challenge on theprose.com for writers to post a poem that really inspires them. Sharing this one here because it's perfect. Credit to @slnmten for entering it in my challenge!
Quietness - by Rumi
Inside this new love, die.
Your way begins on the other side.
Become the sky.
Take an axe to the prison wall.
Escape.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.
Do it now.
You are covered with thick cloud.
Slide out the side. Die,
and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign
that you have died.
Your old life was a frantic running
from silence.
The speechless full moon
comes out now.
