the keeping of silence

the keeping of silence is tempting in face of an inevitable ruckus.

But by denying yourself heartfelt poetry, you would take to drinking, fighting, wenching, gaming. as long as it keeps the pax of mind.

Yet even a plentitude of those would not prevent the coming of voice.

If anyone who would read me with any attitude in any time could understand,

I write, for I am like Yunus Emre's waterwheel.

Though I carry not water, but sea-mist.
