Caroline Cécile Delacroix Poet Free verse

A Quiet Time

No words to say
No songs to sing
The voice has gone numb
The mind refuses to run.

Letting my eyes dance away
Upon mountains and valleys
My ears listen to the concert
Of the hidden spring and the birds.

No thoughts to convey
No sounds out of my mouth
Quietly I listen, absorbing the beauty
Upon which my eyes feast, and my heart beats.

I hear your voice 
Speaking softly to me
Of words that feed and color
My life with love and splendor.

Gert W. Knop October 4, 2010 at 2:32 AM Quel poème grand et remontant, Caroline! And I must agree with John, but I myself like the second stanza best. Thank you for your kind comments and suggestions to "Ein Herbsttag". You are right, "non-ending" sounds smoother than not ending and I already changed it. J'apprécie vraiment votre poésie et votre a choisi des mots! Alles Gute und eine gute neue Woche!...Gert
