Notes About The Poem

Perpetual Symphony of Spears and Daggers

he was like autumn
all around him 
                    slowly died

i guess i was like autumn too
but adapted to blossom
                                 embracing the moods

now
it's raining again
i foresee thunder 
rocking sunless skies
with lightening
                    dazzling duller days

heaven's tear drops plummet
like a perpetual symphony of
                                         spears and daggers

hidden wounds bleed once more
i bury my pomegranate heart 
to hibernate underneath a
                                     veil of evergreen leaves

your shadow appears
in obscurity of dreams
a reminder of regretful
stubborn bitterness or
                               maybe forgiveness

a time to move on

the dead do not speak
yet we search for answers
to questions that should
                                  have been known in life

we aim to make peace 
                                with the silence

Caren Krutsinger November 6, 2019 at 2:18 AM We do aim to "make peace with the silence" and once we have mastered this, everything else becomes crystal clear for the silence is where hope and faith lie. This is a thinking poem that dives into the soul of the reader.

Hello There November 5, 2019 at 11:31 PM It takes time, my friend. The rain may not stay away forever, but the spears and daggers should lose their edge. Peace.. Silent One November 10, 2019 at 6:46 AM Well I hope they do...Thank you

Carolyn Devonshire November 5, 2019 at 10:50 AM After some time passes, we do make peace with the silence. One book I read said that after we stop missing someone, then we miss missing them. (True) The pain emotes so well through your words. Powerful poetry! Hugs, Carolyn

Alexis Y. November 4, 2019 at 7:50 AM WoW! Silent, This is a deep and thought provoking write. The lines that jumped off the page for me were " the dead do not speak,yet we search for answers to questions that should,have been known in life" I agree, with John. This is one of your best! This is an excellent piece of poetry and it's going straight into my favs:-) Alexis

Indiana Shaw November 3, 2019 at 7:06 AM You have a wonderful inner soul Silent One that touch emotions others cannot reach. Grief and the art of forgiving oneself, before we can forgive others reaches me here, sweet sad words . . .
