Notes About The Poem

I was inspired by my own contest.

In the Absence of Complication

In the absence of complication, trials and tribulations become distant memories. Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes - inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind. Words flow like rivers kissing mouths of the sea, where an aubade of dawn creates waves of serenity. In the purity of silence, I hear the heartbeat of nature, a tranquil symphonic percussion of harmonic breaths. A veneer of coolness refreshes my sensitive skin, as my persona resembles a semblance of peace. Positive thoughts create a carnival of colours, as neon crayons illuminate the canvas of my life. I am content in being lost in ripples of Earth's lullabies, as life is a balance between rainy days and sunny horizons. Today, footfalls of autumn acorns annoy like wayward winter winds, but I know tomorrow, lavender spring air will bring rows of tulips.

Love this poem life would definitely be easier without the complications and if a person can only focus on the lullabies of the earth and the lavender spring air life would be so peaceful.

There are so many beautiful lines in this poem, I can see that you have been inspired by nature to write them. Moving in unison you resonate with it. The beauty of Nature is all around, if only some would appreciate the serenity and peace it brings with it. A wonderful example for your contest Si, one for my fave list....Maria Hugs

This is one of the most perfectly beautiful poems I've read in quite a while. I haven't read about the contest but strongly suspect surpassing this gem would required stealing a jewel from a high security museum. Impressive work - a treat. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Words flow like rivers kissing mouths of the sea'. I am amazed at the mixture of simile and personification, and I enjoy the line,'I am content in being lost in ripples of Earth's lullabies,'. I wish I could unveil the name behind the Silent One's voice. I like your style of poems though complex to us the toddlers!
