silence

Posted in poetry at 5:55 pm by simplemelody

say something say something
say hi say hey say how are you
be casual be cool be calm
be anything
but true

but true
is all i know
so no
i can’t speak to you

silence is better
than how are you
it is closer
to the truth

so i choose silence
instead of you
silence
you.

I am excited about picking up the guitar. Between practicing the cello and the guitar, the tips of my left hand fingers are now quite calloused. I think my cello is improving… very slowly. Occasionally I produce a note not so tortuous on the ears and I look up to the sky to see if heaven had cracked open. Playing the guitar is a little bit more satisfying because I get to sing. They both exhaust me though. My hearing is very sensitive and I get easily affected by sound. It takes a lot of my energies when my hearing is continuously stimulated. 

With some more practice, I think I could be pretty good at this guitar business :)
