WHEN WORDS FLOW

WHEN WORDS FLOW

Words flow like soft music in the air
A minor key that resolves into major
One cannot see the haunting melody
Nor even the meanings of my words
That emerge, blinking in the daylight
From a dark inner place, forged in fire
Escaping after a deep long-held breath
One suspended chord, then it is done

Speaks Volumes February 9, 2024 at 4:10 PM This poem ignited imagery that built from a flowing lyric to a pulsing tune that culminated in a brief crescendo, "and then it was done" leaving the reader spellbound in the silence of the moment, and breathless. Enjoyed this so very much. Congrats on your placement in Dilly's contest. Glad she led me to it.
