Slide out the side....

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're covered with thick clouds. 
Slide out the side. Die,

and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign 
that you've died. 
Your old life was a frantic running 
from silence.

The speechless full moon 
comes out now.

'Quiet' by Rumi

I wonder if I'll ever learn to review life choices regularly; not wait until painful times like physical or emotional illness give me no other choice but to review. Who knows?!
