I am Silver

Imagine yourself as a Color Poetry

( 1st Place )

Written: August 15, 2025


I am the hush before a winter dawn,
moonlight cloaked across a sleeping field.
I catch the sun in quiet particles,
mirrors of truths you never thought to hold.

I am the glint in a falcon’s eye,
the frost that seals an unspoken vow--
quiet , steadfast,
yet quick to strike into light.

I love how it embodies both stillness and intensity—the hush of a winter dawn balanced with the fierce glint of a falcon’s eye. The imagery is striking and layered: moonlight, frost, and particles of sun all feel like symbols of hidden truths and unspoken vows. Truly captivating...Hugs Login to Reply Rowena Velasco Date: 8/18/2025 5:08:00 AM Thank you so much for your beautiful words. Hugs back!
