Quietened Poems | Examples

Streets Of Solitude

In the resonant noise of continual commotion,
as the voice of hysteria feels quietened  
by the tender touch of consummate calmness, 
the serene sheath of sentiments sinks slow 
with uniquely unexpressed notion
in the unreachable forsaken depth of the mute mind.

When the cacophony outside finally subsides,
the unsaid becomes the sound of silence,
that vibrates where it finds the desired niche,
strikes softly the unknown chord of harmony.
The expression enunciates what isn’t conveyed yet
from the placid depth of quietude.

In the chaotic space of crumbled relationships
the squally sentiments spiral outraged
in the whirlwind of invasive indignation, 
where they once grew in the eye of resentment storm.
Many hues of sensitivity act in the kaleidoscopic show
in the frozen depth of the heart unfeelingly hollow.

When the tempest stops after the apocalypse,
the designed perceptual shroud of stalled silence
spreads in the psychic pathway paved by cogent essence,
where the fragrant wind of seraphic spring blows
with floral emotions that walk the dormant desires
in the desolate streets of solitude.

The Fear

I stopped - quietened my breath 
to a merest ration of air 
so as to isolate 
the sound I heard coming 
from where two glowing eyes
peered out of the dark.

It was as if a fear
had found a form to possess
and from a distance 
observe me to find 
an opening 
through which to enter.

Reason had me pulling
the moment apart
to see what would fit
a name and thus trap 
the unexplained 
in a cage of fact.

But whatever it was 
had quietly disappeared 
and left me there
uneasy, troubled by the notion 
that it had found a way
to infiltrate air.

Zen mode

ripples in an anticipated sequence
in as a mismatch in time
if causing thoughts to go viral
are quietened betwixt bliss beat’s chime

such facilitations that are granted
require our eye to be single
that turbid winds impact not the flame
in heart of Self where pheromones mingle

MOODS OF NATURE - WEATHER

Everything in life is so unpredictable, even in nature.
Hopefully everything will turn out ok in the end!
Wishing you a wonderful day!

MOODS OF NATURE - WEATHER

The clouds suddenly go dark, gloomy and grey,
A rumble of thunder in the distance,
"We should take cover!" I say.
Electrifying!!! The lightening, lights up the sky,
The storm is definitely heading this way!
Crashing noises of anger,
The thunder now rages and roars,
Torrential rain, 
The heavens start to pour, 
Bouncing and dancing,
As the rain hits the floor.
People running quickly to hide inside,
Shivers start to run down my spine.
Looking anxiously for a shelter to find!
Heading for shops, cafes, joining the crowd,
CHANGE OF MOOD 
Ten minutes later, we no longer hide.
The storm has quietened down,
People start to go back outside.
The sky is no longer raining tears,
People smile and look up towards the sky,
A bright coloured, magical rainbow appears!!! 
How beautiful!! It brightens up our day, 
We carry on and continue on our way!

Healing Invocation

A weakened auric field
Where fear forms orbit
The once radiant heart
Now self-blocks grace
To enliven feeble form

The soul feels trapped
In the ailing body-mind
Whilst ego is satisfied
That it is now the focus
Of our creative attention

Awareness self-aware
Observes this anomaly
Where conflict of interest
Between ego and soul
Prevents body’s healing

In time stretched silence
Tremulous heart quietened
Our nonchalant presence
Aligns form with the void
Attuned to God's vibrations

Knowing not soul's intent
To experience limitations
We erase guilt of erst sin
Which is but an ego script
That we dwell in despair

We are God's prodigal son
Always welcome in heaven
There never was separation
Between our Father and us
And so healing must follow

Such is our soul's invocation
Innocent and free from doubt
At the same time recognising
That soul has free will, not us
As in lower mind, who so asks

We Met a Clairvoyant

the clairvoyant saw
God within our heart
and our soul luminous

we were pleased
in as egoically
delusionally

for where is God not

yet these validations
quietened our doubts
steadying hearts resolve

to deepen inner silence

The Power of Silence

quietened chaos ~ declined are wars of non-sensibility.

Rain On the Interstate

It was a stressful drive
Up north I-seventy-five
The rain came pouring down
Water, water, all around

Semi-trucks carrying loads
Vie for places on road
I was in middle lane
Trying to remain sane

Suddenly, a cloud burst
In the gray, rainy mist
The car in front - me at rear
Seemed to disappear

The burst yielded splashes
Obliterated dash-
To keep one's facing nerve
Thankfully, there's no curve

All traveling at least sixty
Unable to drop to fifty
"I'm in trouble" thought aloud
Then, God quietened the cloud

The falling rain continued
I moved to outside lane
And did drive home safely
Thankful for my bravery

Such is life, we move along
Dreaming, singing our song
When a challenge comes our way
Then, "Dear God guide me today"

Now, I praise Him, my Protector,
Still feeling as unnerved victor
I pause to shudder and reflect
About His goodness to protect.

The Silent Kiler

Pain lingers as long as you let it
Scars teach without voices
At times, silence offers peace 
But who can guarantee solitude 
to quietened chaos?

A New Era

After everything has quietened down a bit

Nothing will ever change and nothing will
Everyone will settle down eventually 
Working in government we will play

Everyone will want changes who will pays
Remember we say what they want to hear
All because we are afraid of change brings

Rain On Interstate Yesterday

It was a stressful drive
Up north I-seventy-five
The rain came pouring down
Water, water all around

Semi- trucks carrying loads
Vie for places on road
I was in middle lane
Trying to remain sane

Suddenly, a cloud burst
In the gray, rainy mist
The car in front – me at rear
Seemed to disappear

The burst yielded splashes
Obliterated dash-
To keep one’s facing nerve
Thankfully, there’s no curve

All traveling at least sixty
Unable to drop to fifty
“I’m in trouble” thought aloud
Then, God quietened the cloud

The falling rain continued
I moved to outside lane
And did drive home safely
Thankful for my bravery-

Such is life, we move along
Dreaming, singing our song
When a challenge comes our way
Then,” Dear God guide me today”

Now, I praise Him, my Protector,
Still feeling as unnerved victor
I pause to shudder and reflect
About His goodness to protect.

Hall of Mirrors

Consciousness looking at its reflection
by making the object as the subject
parallel mirrors in contemplation
who is who, in hypnotic trance forgets
until the self enters meditation 

Quietened attention, all thoughts suspect
poised attentively, thus in cessation
layer by layer, delusion ferrets
truth of oneness, sudden recognition 
whereupon hermit gets to the summit

Panther

Emerging from dappled shadows dim
        Panther skulk speaks compassion's incessance 
                 Gentlest ally protects all Creator's kin
        Hunter's bulk subdued by sweet breath essence


                Hot wafting exhale compels creatures 
           Fragrance soothes universal firm friendships
               Mottle spot camouflage flank features
           Manuscript of many talents shared intensive


             Granted allegiance nurtures frightened 
        Hundred eyed hide has stealth of God on Earth
             In Panther's presence, fears quietened
       Caterwaul roar at tomb mouth reclaims His turf

New Dawns Beckon

As dormant nadis open
new pulsations felt within
the feeling though strange
is calmed by bliss ignition

With our lower mind rested
and ego craving quietened
we embrace each surprise
as bliss throb is heightened

Cold and Misty

Cold and Misty
By: Miracle Man
12-15-2019

This blustery day finds me quietened inside,
Weighing my thoughts before going to ink.
Most thoughts arriving my pen has denied,
I’m carefully bound and thoughts I bethink.

I gaze outside and observe leaves blowing,
A Northwester wind, gale force, is howling.
Today’s forecast mentions sleet and snowing,
Which means today will be spent scowling.
