Hearing

When symphonic waves crash on soundless shores,
Listen to the cadence of silent seas,
He's a virtuoso of voiceless woes,
orchestrating pre-written faith, at ease.

For every tainted tide, transpires a tune,
If you lend your ear to the unsung sighs,
perhaps sonorous currents too would croon,
amidst ringing reasons that fall and rise.

There's a fine song for every shipwrecked heart,
entrenched in rhymes from the soul of sand dunes.
Healing comes through searing sirens as art,
rhapsodizing themes of roaring runes.

As waters whistle, hushed air ricochets,
resonating the melody of a dulcet dove,
breeze beneath ripples rewinds and replays,
in divine dialects through language of love.

Whilst chorus of crickets swiftly unfold,
allow nature to compose musings of the ocean.
Words can only whisper deep scars untold,
in poetic crescendo, that translates intense emotions.

I can see why this is so popular. A dreamy use of language (as always from you).. the killer line for me "There's a fine song for every shipwrecked heart". Would love to hear the vocal on this piece. Great job!

Hello IE. I'm reminded of Homer's Odyssey in your lines, and the plights Odysseus had to overcome to regain his home and life. He, too shipwrecked, literally, and suffered emotional heartache for years. You use an appropriate amount of alliteration that I recognize from your mentor's way of writing. It's a nice touch.

My friend there are so many awesome verses in this gem! It is a poet's feast to read this beauty. All stanza are great but this one especially. "" Whilst chorus of crickets swiftly unfold, allow nature to compose musings of the ocean. Words can only whisper deep scars untold, in poetic crescendo, that translates intense emotions."" A gem and a new fav too. God bless you.

Wow wow, my dearest Ink, the way you've unveiled a serenading symphony of different nature's sounds, oscillating between breezes, oceanic waves, sirens, tides, silent seas, melody of doves, chorus of crickets.. Ah, you've actually impeccably extracted the essence of the sense 'Hearing' here and taken it to the beautiful note of 'Healing'.. There's so much wisdom and emotions that you've poured in this one.."If you lend your ear to the unsung sighs" If only people understood our silence..Heartfelt
