Notes About The Poem

 

 

''silence Sweet Solitude''

 
the solitude
the silence
silence of a bee in the forest
silence of the leaves
leaves on majestic trees
leaves my soul quivering 
quivering treasures
quivering happiness and joy 
joy of freedom and journeying on
joy in my soul beyond time
time entangled in vines
time to pause in the emerald
emerald windswept meadows trembling 
emerald velvet foliage creeping 
creeping and creeping the embroidery of green
creeping sunlight fills the shadows 
shadows are where the violets sleep
shadows hide a hundred chirping wings
wings of the poets dreamy muse
wings of a little butterfly kissing the decay
decay in the tangled branches
decay beautiful and divine
divine tufts of yellow
divine bliss in silence
silence in the garlands of green
silence in hushed echoes
echoes of unseen songsters
echoes of wild streams bubbling and flowing 
flowing pen
flowing words and verses
verse amongst the scattered dandelions
verses in the whispering calm 
calm the clusters of vines twining
calm the bliss
bliss in a deep canopy of towering giants
bliss under an azure above
above the cowslip and foxglove
above blue birds fly
fly downy wings
fly with the sweet wind
wind that whispers in my ears
wind that lifts the tufts of pretty flowers 
flowers wilted and dying
flowers with petals forlorn
forlorn my poetic words
forlorn and weeping 
weeping on tattered paper in solitude
weeping poems and rhymes and verses
created in the silence 
solitude  . . .
