On the Wings of Words

On The Wings Of Words For quite a time no word would rhyme So heavy is the quill, so dense is the ink And the word just succumbs and loses its prime While the heart carries its weight and drops its link ***** No woven words would whisper a woe To a hidden power of surrender that started to reign As a valiant heart that denies the victory of a foe And greets pain not just in drops but rather rain ***** I run of Light Feel so tight I seek sight To dare night ***** My word swallowed its sound As I sighed for silence A wish to have the soul drowned And attain the presence of a guidance ***** I want to remain silent Be aware of each moment Render the dormant vibrant And inner beauty fluent ***** I want my word towards the zenith mount Be light and crystal, intense and of worth Be of insight.. inspiration, a real fount My spirit on the wings of words to a rebirth.. Besma August 24th, 2023

This is indeed a very soul stirring, poignant and evocative write with different emotions, ranging from darkness to yearning for light and hope. I can truly feel the vulnerability to my heart's core and somewhat these lines deeply resonated with me.. "So heavy is the quill, so dense is the ink" So aching.. "My word swallowed its sound, As I sighed for silence" Very heartfelt dear beautiful poetess.. This piece is definitely a FAV! Sending you lots of love and best wishes- Hiya :)

"I want to remain silent Be aware of each moment Render the dormant vibrant And inner beauty fluent" resonates with my soul. Thanks for sharing your thoughts through your poetry, Besma. I'll be following your poetry now and hope to become friends with you. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

I admit I missed your beautiful, emotive poems. Today's inspiration is worthy of acclaim and deserves a POTD. Yet I feel sadness. Hope all are well at home. Personally, I was very sick, but now I'm on the mend. Blessings my friend.
