SONG OF SILENCE
Silence is the best song
Forever, I have heard.
The screaming buses on the roads
Weeping all day,
The uncompromising siren
Of the wayside . . . more

I don't know if it is just me, but have you noticed that most people have some form of noise going on all the time? When they wake up in the morning they either turn on the TV or . . . more

Jehangir dropped down into the tunnel, his bare feet hitting the warm soil with a thud. He moved quickly through the darkness, around corners and bends, through narrow openings and tight passageways. . . . more

Silence between us when you are away
gets pregnant with diffuse emotions,
silence with you warming my existence
cements the chinks in our togetherness
silence when abandoned metamorphoses
like a timeless . . . more

I wrote this for a poetry class last fall. This is the response to the fifth assignment: Write a poem using symbolism, but do not use a common symbol.
This poem is reflective of my . . . more

Do I love them?
Do they love me?
And then
In the twinkling of an eye
They are gone
And the questions are moot

I take a moment
To stop and closely listen
To hear the silence.

The old saying "you don't miss the water until the well has gone dry" rings so true for me today. I am so excited to have my "voice" restored on Gather. I have been away for a while . . . more

Musings
Walking alone in the pine woods
The air seems blue.
The sun liberating the aroma
Of Christmas past.

The sun is setting in the west
A gentle breeze cools the air
Soon Thanksgiving
Soon Winter
But today it is warm and lovely
And good to be alive

I could have sought by wit or wile
your bright dreams to dim. And yet
If I swayed you with a smile
My reward would be regret.
So, for once, you shall not hear
of the tears, unbidden, welling;
or the . . . more

Our power went off last night, at about 9:30 p.m. My side of the street, the opposite side, and the side behind them were all affected. I'm guessing that about 100 homes lost their power last night. . . . more

SUFFER IN SILENCE.
You never hear
the words i say,
or understand why
i feel this way.
Is this how
it's going to be,
you not even
caring about me?
I cry myself
to sleep at night, . . . more

The creatures stir
inside their cage
I read my book
I turn a page
The furnace hums
the ferrets drink
the mice eat pasta
and I think
I think I'm lonely
but maybe not
I think I'm . . . more

Slim fingers of silence languishingly probed
The muse to awareness again
Eager for guidance it rose to the touch
Into clarity where answers swirl
The pandora box of curiosity was brimming . . . more

You taunt me with a word.
I torture you with several.
You maul me with a brief silence,
I smother you with a longer spell.
You whiplash me with an act ignored,
I let loose an avalanche of icy inaction. . . . more

3 a.m.
I can hear you sleep
From all the way downstairs.
On cool granite
I slice thickly three
Of the stoutest
Tomato-reddest tomatoes
My garden has ever seen fit to deliver,
With their earth-musky . . . more

Silence can be a
grudging yes, or a resounding No!
Or a million hues inbetween.
Silence can't label you a loose woman
nor a flirt.
Silence impales me on my own cross.
Silence is a 600-page . . . more

Solemn silent hours creep,
Still I long the day to keep,
I won't release me to my sleep,
So long as there are thoughts to reap.
