Notes About The Poem

Silent Shadows

Sounds of inaudible shadows fleeing for cover They're on my trail; one path has led to another The faint noises of their traffic rouse those nearby Summer's night seems to be serene, but it is a lie in the middle of the bustle of the busy streets Let's explore some half-full mumbling retreats The city's sound is reminiscent of a symphony In this social junkyard, that might restore dignity Art implies unseal mind, yet doubt can block them In this era of polyester, I'm scanning for a gem However, it's not unusual for words to come freely Hair spilled shadows, never soaked so deeply Airy grace of a picture clashes with the evil below Deep seas are noiseless, and this we know Art relieves anxiousness and stimulates creativity When people see you, they may view positivity.

Lovely imagery to your beautiful verse, my friend. You reminded me of my grandson when I walk my dog at night and he does carry a flashlight. He will ask, “Where is my shadow grandma?” He only 4 years old then steps on mine to hide his. Great for a win. Many blessings your way with hugs

Deeply ruminating--in missives of silent shadows.
