There is an intertwining relationship between silence and creativity in my life. I can create only when it is silent and quiet. Any noise and distraction seems to dispel the slightest whisper of new ideas from my mind. In such situations, I usually just hold onto my ideas like as if I were meditating, and wait for the hubbub to settle down before I begin writing.
The fast paced beats
Of the blaring music
Incarcerates the ears
Leaving the mind with little elbow room
To nudge around its creative muscles
I stop fighting and decide to
Drift along with the flow-
Waiting patiently for the song to end
So I can finally write something in
The quiet interlude that will follow.
