"While I dance I cannot judge, I cannot hate, I cannot separate myself from life. I can only be joyful & whole. This is why I dance." - Hans Bos

A Sam Scott poem:
11th September 2023

Listen to poem:

I hear the whisper now As quiet as the grass in the gentle breeze Soothing and lulling Inviting me forward with an extended hand To dance barefoot Despite the cloudy sky and threat of showers Under the thinning canopy of the trees Yet, not despite the rain Invited because of it To cleanse and wash away Life's dust and debris Returning to the freshness of innocence The uncluttered traveller Resting a while Reconnecting with the ancient clay Luscious pastures Silent stones To nurture, nourish and Restore The soul

Many congratulations dear Sam! This beautiful poem will be a great addition to the anthology. I’m so glad to have the opportunity to read it again and appreciate the depth, the serenity “soothing and lulling” found within its so poetically well written lines. Well done! :):) x

Oh my im a huge fan of paulo coelho. I have all his books, my fave is “ the winner stands alone” and “ veronica decides to die” and now about your poem i truly love how you’ve written this especially the line “ quiet as the grass “ “silent stones” unique! Love it
