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. By CarolineCécile Copyright © 10.03.10

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
