Death's Silence

Pensive in death’s silence
my mind’s eye searching
for answers never revealed
by mortal form --
An advanced soul
encouraged by the moon
& the cross unseen
my essence wishing
to crawl in a world
of laymen
Being exceptional 
is unacceptable 
In a dome of questions
With answers
Not --
Living in a sacred slumber
I awake again to sleep . . .

"An advanced soul" This is juicy...gets the inner perspective going right away, and so much so I get lost. This is not a harsh criticism. I think the poem is super. Congrats. Love, daver

Need to read this a few times, cause my brain cells are very slow today. You know I LOVE your work. No, I actually have not read your book yet - but I keep you close to my heart despite the fact that I am the worlds worst procrastinator. Life is so crazy lately and I will get to it and let you know when I do. Congrats my sweet friend on your featured poetry. Hope life is good for you. Hugs, Shar xoxo
