Notes About The Poem

Listen

Listen 
The vortex of deep ocean currents
Pushing my foolish spirit
Up towards the surface.

Sounds echoed rising 
To perfect silence.
And there I am alone.
Try to listen
To the music of the spheres.
Can you hear anything?
No friends
No Enemies
No lovers.

Fear trembled in my invisible stomach.
Yet I try to listen
Who am I?
As planets and stars twirl in the immense universe.
Until a silent vortex of two stars in nova
Send a nuclear quake, 
And disruption occurs
As the old spirit is sent back to the abyss
Of Earth’s Ocean.

Try and find me now.
Impossible!

Valsa George January 9, 2024 at 2:23 AM We are just motes in this vast universe. When there is a kind of apocalypse, our souls will get separated from us and we will slip into the ocean of nothingness. A very profound poem, dear Victor. 'Who am I'.... this is a puzzling question and the most weighty question !

Hiya Sharma January 8, 2024 at 1:55 AM Gosh, this poem took me on an evocative journey, dear Victor! What a remarkable scene you've presented here wherein, those spaces of vacuum in universe still echo a unique silence which has its own voice..Those planets sing their own symphony, if we try and hear..
