Standing on my Hands

if i read you my poem
silently

will you hear all the
dumb dumb

in between the spaces
where the divine

touchés
amusing you, telling you

to share
what you saw in the dark

believe me
there is always more

and those aficionados
who believe

blindly
that their words belong to them

only
how blessed we are

to be almost
remote

and to spin our wheels
within

and without each other
and yet

we pay each other a debt
as we turn over

Spring seeds of poetry
hand to hand

i’ll digress
while standing on my hands

my fingerprints
in beach sand, in primordial goop,

on the moon and sun,
on everyone

if you read me your poem
silently

i’ll hear all the
dumb dumb

For sure...we are co-creators with God. If one really listens, with the heart, with the mind, with the soul, words dissolve, time dissolves...and the transformation is conscious pure light and love.

Love that, Joe! I think we long for more. The closest two people get, is in marriage. Some nearly read each other’s minds. We are not islands. We look to read eternity. Hugs.

Whew ... I love, love brevity poems that hard hit with impact, and that is what I felt. (I'm walking up the living room wall while I type this.) CayCay

Even in silence poetry conveys profound messages and divine inspiration can be found in these quiet moments.
