Images Burst Through Silence

Late duskfall cracks the air tenderly, wandering on a language of silence as twilight caresses the breath of fluid intuition… for when all else is sprawled quiet, there comes this certain ambient stream wading on mouths of reflection, far beyond the collage of any flushed landscape, and watching inward becomes a vision… that learning how to hear a pear or pebble unravel the very skin from which it was born is allowing time to unfold its leaves beyond unknowing a need to stay in the moment: and images passing through calm eyes of any season is poetry’s way of coming back to itself. -------------------
*It is in deep silence and mindful awareness that the burst of imagination flows freely. Thomas Martin’s Ars Poetica 6/3/2015

Introspection wrapped in all its colors, like a rainbow slowly fading away in the mind awaiting the sunlight to once again pierce each droplet so it may return...my first thought after reading your beautiful poem.

Nette, was that last little part a quote or your own words . I loved that. And also the part about poetry coming back to itself. An awesome line!! I am sure you won't need any luck to score in this contest!!

Your poems are art and art has no rules, only admirers and naysayer. Truth, fear, imagination and innocence lay silently within such words as these, waiting to be released by the magic of a poet's pen. Emile. #7

Mindful awareness... a hint of Zen philosophy. I amazed by the richness of your language and your dazzling imagery. A poem so full of promise one has to read it several times. BRAVO Nette! Best wishes, Keith
