Phil Capitano Poet Rhyme

When All the World Is Quiet - Its Too Late Version

WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS QUIET
           (It’s too late version)

When all the world is quiet
	And the night is fully deep,
A mystic moon is watching
	All the places underneath.
My thoughts like panthers moving
	through the jungle, they do creep.
Among the lingering shadows
	lies a naked hairy beast…

When all the world is quiet
	Amid the pine trees night is dark,
The Hunter charges east-southeast
	As Venus makes her mark.
But its not these welcome visitors
	That wretched me from my sleep,
For they have come, the moving lights,
	It’s their secrets I can’t keep.

When all the world is quiet
	People would not believe
The shower of light, the dusting
	Of illuminating cosmic debris;
“Not of this Earth”, I tell you,
	“Embrace the night”, they implore.
But they often go to places 
	I’d rather not explore.

When all the world is quiet
	Hairy beast meets Neo-man
They’ve been coming here for millennia,
	Our consciousness to expand.
Too many gods, countless laws
	And many borders defended,
The message they send is simple,
	Life as we know it has ended.

When all the world is quiet
	Listen if you can
Peace and love resound over
	The noise of clumsy man.
Aspire to the Divine, my child,
	Let children lead the way.
The music of the spheres is love,
	Oh, let the music play.

Leonardo Edwards March 21, 2017 at 3:09 PM Splendid. Phil Capitano March 21, 2017 at 3:19 PM Thanks Leonardo, I wondered but it is okay if you (or anyone else) doesn't get it sometimes my poetry can be hard to understand. Anyway, ciao. Leonardo Edwards March 21, 2017 at 3:10 PM That was suppose to be “splendid!”.

Gary Bateman March 14, 2017 at 9:07 AM A magnificent write indeed Phil!! Let us all aspire to the Divine for sure. (I've touched on this notion too, at times, in some of my narratives.) Superb in every respect!! A FAV!! Cheers, Gary Phil Capitano March 14, 2017 at 11:29 AM Thanks Gary your comments are always thoughtful and appreciated. Ciao.

Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck March 10, 2017 at 9:11 AM I don't cry easily, but...this is too gorgeous not to. Phil Capitano March 10, 2017 at 9:29 AM Thanks so much Gerald, it means a lot to know that I have touched you that way. Now you're making me cry...

Tomas Vincent Marra March 7, 2017 at 8:15 AM Well done.

Ironic Zink March 3, 2017 at 11:04 PM I've been away from writing and also the Soup. I just now received your soupmail and I have obliged your request. I like the shorter version better but that's because I'm partial to the "less is more" but my poetry is often "more than less" none the wiser this poem is excellent and I would only change the phrase "life as we know it has ended" only by adding one small word to aid in flow. Maybe I'm wrong but my quick read didn't flow quite as good as the rest of this nearly flawless rhyming poem Phil Capitano March 4, 2017 at 8:42 AM Thank you ZiNk for your candid remarks, I appreciate your insight and time and I am always trying to improve. Namaste.

Kim Rodrigues February 26, 2017 at 7:04 AM Lovely! Yes, let the children lead. 7 Phil Capitano February 27, 2017 at 9:15 AM We make them grow up too fast, they need to be as innocent for as long as possible. Thanks Kim.

Pandita Sietesantos February 24, 2017 at 10:02 AM Hello Phil, in my books this full-length version of your earlier write is a masterpiece indeed - poetry in motion that reflects the thoughts of the artist as he spashes just the right colors from his palette to make his canvas come alive. I love it! BRAVO and a 7! Best wishes. Pandita Phil Capitano February 24, 2017 at 4:18 PM Thanks Pandita for your kind remarks.
