The Cell

Chained
You cannot elude
Persistent clamor

Bound
By compulsion for
Hair-trigger contact

Captive
Of your notion
Of your consequence

Tied
You can not escape
From your cubicle

What would you give
For my liberty
To choose silence

John Thomas 3/4/08

Quote from Rumi, Sufi Poet

"We have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again."
