Quiescent

Quiescence 2-6-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quiescent

Snowfall resonates in unison’s octaves,
 In low tones of falling flakes’ pink vibrations,
Waterfalls of snowflakes in gentle billows
Pulse in halcyon – 
The resting heartbeat of dozing snowflowers.  

Feathery gifts from the unselfish heavens,
 Unhurried stillness
  Hushed drifts,
 Suspended between half light and vesper veils
In reposes of resolved hibernation.

Hypnotic hum of drifting hues, soothing bleakness,
Lingers through broadbands of snowy calm,
  Like floating tides of resolution,
Lays hands on unsettled winds
 And the flushed pulse of whiteouts.

In shades of snowbound solitude,
 Drawn into the spellbound cadence
  Of snowfall reveries' vital signs,
Breath slows into mesmerizing harmony,
 Sinking into the hush to banish blizzards.

Wow... This is beauty incarnate! Your description of the snowflake is heavenly. "Feathery gifts from the unselfish heavens, Unhurried stillness Hushed drifts, Suspended between half-light and vesper veils"..... I can only stay gape-mouthed! Finally what a dazzling conclusion-- "Breath slows into mesmerizing harmony, Sinking into the hush to banish blizzards." To reread, I am sending this to my FAVE. Sending you love and hugs, sweet friend...

This poem is so lovely, Sam. I especially love the lines: "the resting heartbeat of dozing snowflowers," and "unhurried stillness." Beautifully quiescent.

Dear Sam, I like how your poem explores the hypnotic and soothing qualities of snowfall, likening its hues to "floating tides of resolution" that calm unsettled winds and bring a sense of peace to the landscape. The imagery of "snowbound solitude" and "spellbound cadence" suggests a transformative experience, where the rhythm of snowfall lulls the observer into a state of meditative harmony.
