 | Seeking Silence  [E] Short poem about seeking stillness in our chaotic world.  |
| (5.0)| Hi, Petrichor  Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! These are my honest thoughts on your poem. What made me read this poem? The title and brief description hooked me as many times, in my busy schedule, I wish I could sit alone and still my thoughts and feelings. My thoughts: I loved the first stanza. That is exactly what I'm seeking - stillness, no movement, sound or thrill. The second stanza talks about Qi or Chi, the Life Energy. I very much believe in this concept and feel that if we open our channels for the Qi to flow in, our lives will take a turn for the better. We would gain spiritual knowledge which cannot be accessed otherwise. The third stanza is about the calmness one experiences when one reaches a thoughtless state. The final stanza gives us the solution to calm our ever-chattering mind and it is through meditation. This is a simple poem, containing deep ideas. To understand it, we need to have some knowledge about spirituality in general and Qi in particular. However, you have weaved it into a comprehensible form. Final thoughts:  Reading this poem refreshed me. I like writings which are spiritually oriented. I have no suggestions to give as I find this poem perfect (keeping the technicalities of poetry aside). Thanks a lot for sharing this with us. Keep writing  Soh  My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
