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 Created on 12/16/14 for “Whisper Of Your Soul” Poetry Contest Sponsored by Gail Angel Doyle

Hi Olive, I'm so happy that you enjoyed my creation. It is a poem that I struggled with. Normally, when I spend too much time on restructuring a poem it turns into a disaster. I got this one right. Congratulations to you too on your brilliant poem. I really enjoyed reading your contest entry. I hope you have a wonderful week end. Take care. Earl

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

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
