Can you be quiet? World
(I beg you...)
when I'm writing a poem
(or reading, or thinking...)
can you just hold a minute
before knocking at my door?
Because I am waiting for
a beautiful voice from Heaven
to drop into my earthly bowl
She is vigilant and shy
(like a wild creature in jungle )
so talented at evading me
but, Shh... (I promise)
once I capture her
I will turn back to you
and serve your needs
As I always do

Sylvia Plath wrote this sentence when she was 15 years old: I write because there is a voice within me that will not be still." I believe each one of us on HP has the problem with this voice, that's why we cannot help but keep writing...
