A Time for Silence

A Time for Silence

by Seah Greenhorn

(Poem with copyright)

Neglect
not
a pause

Moments in mind
amid turmoil

Dissents

outside your core.

A Breeze of Reflection

Sweetly

eases the soreness
of twisting/
turning

Dampening
spreads
of

Nights sweats

Induced by
frightful dragons of dread
wearing scales of hunger

tearing with teeth

grinding
precious tin,
cedar or metal
from imperative
overhead.

Stealing your calm.

Breaking your peace
into tiny particles like chaff
circling back

a whirlwind
causing you blind.

Winding and winding
in an imaginary maze
decimating golden time.

Stay

moments in sought silence

to reflect
redefine

in stillness.

In
Quiet.

Upon beauty of sight and sound
from memory
or present surrounds.

But mainly upon

Wisdom
Divine

Releasing

thunderous quakes
into
bearable shakes

or

Lightening
Souls

for future
familial bonding acts of
Love

Pure

to gracefully unfold
with petals soft and lovely.

Bouquets.
Cherished.

For Others to Imitate.
Appreciate.

Behold.

What does this quote say to you? Does solitude give birth to the soul's poetry...and why? Dig into your psyche and write what this makes you feel.

Rhyme, free verse or prose.

Please not toooo long

No reserves.

Enjoy
