Notes About The Poem

The Poems I Never Wrote

When attention is soft and heart mellow,
the sounds of silence oft invades our form,
pervading presence, igniting soul's glow,
felt vividly as blissful currents warm.
Vaporised self's swept away in this storm,
shaping in our head words sent from heaven
but if we take this boon as a given,
the music slips through fissures in our mind;
thus unless the void remains our haven,
these gifts from beyond we must leave behind.

"Fissures in our mind," "void remains our haven" just two of your amazing images of the "gifts" left behind Seeker! What a wonderful description of the poems we leave behind - maybe permanently and, just maybe, waiting for a resurrection of sorts. I always come away from your poems with bundles of thoughts to ponder. Thank you for that gift. Congratulations on your win. Blessings!

Beautiful thoughts, Seeker. Yes, we must be grateful, and also quick to write them lest we forget!

Congratulations on the win. Those "words sent from heaven" are sometimes nebular at best. Nicely done.
