Whisper of Your Soul

Whisper Of Your Soul
       (Soul Listens On A Whisper)

Murmurs soft are sensed, mimic nature, diaphanous clouds spread wide
Settle softer than a translucent butterfly on spring light snow
It is the moon flirting in ebullience, fog rising on a thin film on winds side  
Lifting skirts or is it veils?  Unknown in this muted light of whispers glow
   
Mist rolls across the bog, pulls along reluctant virgin night
By golden glow, that holds the sky in humble hush, abeyance in a trance
Tracking down the birth of morning, bursting full of light 
Barely able to mutter the words, “the light of day”, the endless dance 


You feel the vibrant tones, fold over meadows as you go
A vestigial tiny vessel of a virgin’s secret opens here
Chasing dark away along the marsh with pounding heart to know
The open glen is near, fills up in brilliant colors clear

Soft luscious sounds fall silent on the morning air and then
Listen, it whispers on the minutia of the moment something true 
Holds on to quiet in the silent glen
Waiting on a whisper Imbued with truth, soft thoughts of you

Jan Allison December 16, 2014 at 6:16 PM such a beautiful flow and wonderful imagery Earl - I do hope this does well for you my friend - 7 from me - good luck! Hugs jan xxx Earl Schumacker December 16, 2014 at 7:15 PM Thank you Jan for your encouragement. I'm glad you liked it. When the contest concludes I am going reinstate this poem in free verse form, (which I feel more comfortable with.) It has more grit and power in free verse in my estimation, however, I am happy how this turned out. I hope things are good with you. Take care. Earl

Casarah Nance December 16, 2014 at 2:56 PM This is descriptively amazing! I have enjoyed every word! Wonderful :) :) Earl Schumacker December 16, 2014 at 3:56 PM Hi Casarah, Thank you so much. As you might guess, I had to struggle with this one with many rewrites to get it right. I prefer free verse. It is my preferred style and comes more from the heart for me. I'm saving the free verse version of this for another day. I'm glad that you enjoyed this rhymed contest entry item. I am happy with the way it turned out. Thank you so much for your kind words and have a great night. Earl
