stellar silence

Listen to the silence
of the stellar Luna,
she sings sonatas true
for the twinkling jewels~
laced in promises blue.

Listen to the silence~
painted in cosmic silk,
in the absence of strife,
she dreams in her silver 
glazed labyrinth of life.

Listen to the silence,
when emeralds kiss threads
of sapphires sparkling bright 
to harmonize her choir,
with mellifluous light 

Listen to the silence,
you'll feel healing heartbeats,
drifting through aching skies,
in sombre hues of woes,
sealed between unheard sighs.

IE, the silence you describe seems very subtle and seems to allow some who can listen carefully to sense a lot of emotional activity.

Yet another beauty Ink Express. I love how you do the rhyme scheme throughout. "in sombre hues of woes, sealed between unheard sighs"

I like the refrain in your poem... and you are right in silence we listen so much better... Rumi has so many quotes on silence.... This silence, this moment, every moment, if it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need. There's nothing to believe. Only when I stopped believing in myself did I come into this beauty. Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, 'Be more silent. That is a great quote by the master... the more silent we become.. the more we listen... BOL in contest..

A beautiful poem, that uses cosmic attributes to accent the silence. The last stanza brought it all together. This was genius.

Dearest Inky, this is another cosmic gem in a long line of poetic jewels! I can't decide which fabulous image to highlight. I am spellbound in the enchantment of your lunar world! This is beyond captivating in its poetic elegance with each line ever so carefully composed for the full effect of "mellifluous light." I love watching you foster your creative genius. Blessings!

Dear Ink, your creativity and skill with words and imagery, along with your artistic talent, are truly impressive! Your writing's rhythmic flow exudes profound elegance. I find myself where sonatas' melodies embrace and soothe, where a healing heart's pulsing is heard, and where dreams are delicately woven on celestial fabric. Your poem is a lovely showcase of delightful words.

A soothing refrain speaks eloquently, my friend. I hear the sonatas, healing heartbeats, see the dreams on cosmic silk--delightfully poetic write in charming vocabulary, Ink.

Sometimes when we are allowed to be in what is called silence today, it is amazing what we can actually hear. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K
