Notes About The Poem

"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

Listen to poem:

Whisper - ::Published::

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

Ink Empress September 11, 2023 at 6:10 AM 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 Sam Scott December 4, 2024 at 8:46 PM Just reading The Alchemist and loving it x Sam Scott September 11, 2023 at 6:24 AM I first found him on Twitter (or whichever letter of the alphabet it is this week).. just so quotable.
