A Songbird's Trill

my muffled mind's cloaked in silence
deaf to men's and merchant's chants
tethered together with love's essence
open to whispers of light's acceptance

battling mirrors of inner cages
wrestling wrongful images -
constant accusations

spontaneously hoisted 
by a single song bird's trill
perched upon my window sill-
a wonder still

With dawn's emerging illumination
I rise amongst the masked masses
for 'now' is all I own or live for
to offer the best of what I hope for

AnnaLinda, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

I'm pretty sure my "poetic skills" or lack thereof...can be seen.

Life exacts a heavy toll at times, but sometimes the simplest of events helps us to take a new look at who we are and gives us the strength and joy to continue on.
