- The Silent Kiss -

  ~ When the earth cracks - 
  provides inspiring moments with timeless treasures ~ 
                                                                       quote by poet

  Have faith in a spring after winter
  The pulse trembles as thin separator sheets
         in the diary of poetry
     drops that create the tree of life green
  Still a little weak – sleep-inducing feelings
      may need a long time to come to the surface

  Liberating to reach for what matters most
       It is an thrilling season to embark 
  The frozen earth slowly begins to thaw

  Through the secret dark grave of the night
          and the pockets of the sunrise
  white wings unfold - champagne satisfies thirst divine
  The process depends on the embrace
      Receive springs snowdrops with a silent kiss

John Fleming Date: 8/21/2025 12:19:00 PM Very nicely penned, Anne-Lise. I find this poem of yours both soothing and comforting. For some strange reason makes me think of being tucked up snug and secure in a log cabin with a big roaring fire when sitting out the Winter. Lol. Strange...but true. Enjoyed! :) john Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 8/21/2025 12:26:00 PM - I understand that you have come to the high mountains in the Norwegian winter, John ... :))) - Thank you very much for your comment :) - hugs
