Love Said Collab With the Silent One - POTD

Maria Williams

POTD 27 Sept 2023 ~LOVE SAID ~ "Go find her, set her free." In my search, I found an array of colourful petals, An abundance of aromatic aromas. Each one, I hydrated with my blood and tears, But each one pricked me with their thorns. Fatigued ~ pondering an end to my quest, I prepared for a life without a petal of my own. A voice whispered ~ "Look this way." And there you were Glimmering under twilight's delight, So I planted you in my heart, So you can blossom in an ocean of love... by The Silent One And Maria Williams French Lyric translation Quand il me prend dans ses bras (When he takes me in his arms) Il me parle de tout bas (he speaks to me softly) Je vois la vie en rose (I see life in pink) Every time you kiss me, Heaven sighs Il me dit des mots d'amour (he tells me words of love) Don't know why Des mots de tous les jours (everyday words) I close my eyes Et ça m'fait quelque chose (and it touches me) If only you would Give your heart and soul to me And life will always be La vie en rose (The life in pink) Some amazing talents come together here. Thank you Silent One for your collaboration with me on this creative poem. Ron Williams, for video direction and composition, which we put together. And to David Luke for his excellent narration.

Watching this video was an ethereal experience. The colorful flowers nodded mesmerizingly, but on going near them, you found they were with thorns that pricked you. Shattered as you stayed, you heard a whisper to look in a different direction and you saw a lone plant in bloom. You planted it in your heart. What a sweet fancy! From your old poems, I took this finding it to be a collaboration of you and Silent One. I rightly guessed it to be wonderful and I wasn't disappointed. This turned out to be a visual treat with Ron's artistry. The recital too is impeccable. With its tender melancholy, it touches hearts. Dear Maria, Congratulations on your POTD, though quite late.

"I hydrated each one, but each one pricked me with their thorns." I can feel the melancholy within these lines, and it curls gently around my heart. This is beautiful, tender and emotional, all at the same time. You both blend your words so well together. Congratulations Maria and Silent One, on Poem of the Day. Hugs, Brandy

I am shocked someone reported this poem as not being yours Maria. You never claimed it to be and have written who wrote it and that you created the video. I'm so surprised with the behaviour of some people on here.. sad.

Maria Williams
