Notes About The Poem

A QUIET EARRING POETIC FLOW

 

Quite sun

shining,

Quite green leaves

waving;

Quiet ears

ringing:-

In the silent

night,

Ears ring

quietly

 to themselves:

Echoing

to me:-

The ears

continue

to ring

in profound

silence,

Echoing life:

When will 

these echoes

reveal

Wisdom
and understanding?

Ringing 

silent ears;

Let us give

thanksgiving 

praise

For echoing life:

Without the

quiet ringing,

Would we be

 in this loud world?!

Let us

be happy;

Wisdom and

understanding,

Quietly

ringing out:

God speaking

all languages;

Streaming all

our ringing ears:-

Wow, what

an amazing brain:

Quietly ringing

opened ears:-

Ears not only 

hear all music,

They also quietly

play theirs:-

Alison A Smith nee Howarth August 28, 2026 at 6:38 AM This is such a unique and thought-provoking free verse! The short, cascading lines create a wonderful visual flow down the page, perfectly matching the steady, continuous rhythm of the internal echoing you describe. Turning the quiet ringing of ears into an allegory for inner wisdom and divine connection is a brilliant concept. I especially loved the uplifting closing thought that our ears not only hear the world's music but also "quietly play theirs." A beautifully reflective write! Millard Lowe August 30, 2026 at 6:25 AM Thank you, so much, Alison. I am so pleased at how you grasped the fullness of thid allegorical write. Your nourishing feedbacks, continue to inspire and encourage this old griot. One, peace and love, M. Lowe.
