Resilient Life-Altering Force

Listen to poem:
Written: April 6, 2024 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We dwell in the sanctuary of slumber. Where stars fade away, light may encumber. Oh, the comfort found in weak rays of light. Do they disappear quickly as a passing night?  Fireflies dance upon the summer's veil. As winter jar embraces me, I stand pale. Gazing at horizons, seeking a distant light, Does it seek me, too? In the depths of night. It softly murmurs, filled with a deep desire. An intricate interplay of destiny and attire. Does it hunt me down as well?  It behaves as if it were a mild wind swell.  Keeping hidden tales from the light. Articulated with precision and clarity. Seasons, adorned with heavenly sight. Nature's pattern was weaved into parity. In hues of gold and crimson blaze,  A symphony of beauty, nature's praise. Whispering gently, my name echoes.  Through the corridors of time, it flows.  A melodic refrain, gentle and sweet,  In the realm of echos, our souls meet. Bathed in a light embrace,  Reaching optimum grace. A speck emerges, sudden and small.  Darkness that outshines them all.  Oh, that ethereal glowing A strange beauty, perfectly flowing. Gravity, oh, how it strikes, high With a force that no one can deny,  It hits adamantine, with all its might. A power that holds us tight.

This poem is truly a delight to read. Your rhyming and choice of words are unbeatable. Even when we sleep and light beams fade out, there is a distant light beckoning us.There is an ethereal glowing that ousts all darkness. "Gravity, oh, how it strikes, high With a force that no one can deny, It hits adamantine, with all its might. A power that holds us tight." Within that power we are sheltered safe. Beautiful poem.

Through your words i can see fireflies fluttering and the crimson and gold that youv delivered in such a descriptive manner. I especially loved the lines “ Whispering gently, my name echoes. Through the corridors of time, it flows.” Corridors of time! A clever line that is and your use of metaphors and poetic techniques such as alliterations as always is on point and so very eloquently woven in a captivating rhythm! I also love the way youv written in such an ethereal way , so celestial! FAV

Are we in slumber and think we are awake? Hum, well it could be. Some power holds us while we sleep at times and sometimes those powers that hold can't get a grip. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

The dreamy, ethereal tone of your poem made for a compelling read. As I read, I felt comforted think about the power in something so subtle as sleep and dreams. Your signature imagery and vocabulary grabbed my heart. I especially liked: In hues of gold and crimson blaze, A symphony of beauty, nature's praise. Your poem was truly a delight to read this morning. Have a splendid day, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
