Notes About The Poem

- the Soul's Voice -

"Can you feel the soul of an abandoned house;
                                         can you hear the whispering? "
                                Quote by _Constance La France  


                                Sun dust swirls on white wings
                                         in the empty house
                                       The charisma abounds
                               Past meets in the soul of eternity
                                           even after falling
                             Days and years of relentless running
                       the voice of the soul is not buried in the drawer

                                      In the dawn of the sun
                                listening to the silence within you
                    in an intermediate phase of something indeterminate
                                  White sophisticated lace gossip
                              tired after countless days of running
                                   Not in my power to alter fate
                                      Silence was our greeting

Sotto Poet May 28, 2023 at 6:25 AM I perceive the vocal resonance of the unoccupied dwelling that conveys significant meaning. Anne-Lise's astute observation highlights the act of introspection during an ambiguous transitional period.
