About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: Silence Day
Silence Day or Day of Silence may refer to: Day of Silence, a day in April designated to protest the bullying and harassment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students. This year it is April 12, 2024

Let this day inspire your entry.

I do believe that no one for their gender or gender choice, sexuality, culture, and financial, political, or social status should be bullied, period. Does a Silence Day help any cause? I doubt it.

Yet, such a day to bring about awareness need not be solemn or serious. It can be a day for relaxation and rejuvenation, as there is something to be said about observing silence. Silence heals and refreshes a person if done properly.

The exact date and customs surrounding "Silence Day" can vary greatly depending on cultural and religious contexts. Regardless of how or when it is observed, the practice of silence holds a strong potential for personal growth, insight, and inner peace.

On the other hand, instead of silence, wouldn't speaking up work better, especially for the solution of social, political, or socio-economic problems?
