Soul Imprint

Enhanced restlessness greets the day.
Asks if it has some to say.
And though it's silent, providing no answer.

Perhaps that is an answer wise,
since azure skies and azure eyes
that once were the alluring dancer,

flowed dissolving into streams
taking buoyant playful dreams
over distant rock falls.

Seeming love embedded deep.
Teeming joy sculpted keep
its songs into the Soul's rock walls.

And now that Soul restless ponders
the permanence of his longings
from the dance which was not so.

The perfect love a hidden knife.
Emptiness can fill a life,
Healing more than not remembering

Then he feels the day’s wind
soothing, cooling deep in.
The only answer that  the day can show.

Byron, , Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
