Soft Words Weep in Stillness

The early morning listens
to soft words that weep in stillness
Echoing from the treetops
of their existence
Distant mountains breathe
an air of sadness
Into the verses that now arise
From my soul

In places where the sunrise
accepts forever's
gentle fade
Stand the tears
upon a raindrop's face
Falling a thousand times
to be lost
in the shadows
Where they play among the pages
Of my day

When the scent of a special grace,
smiles into my depths
Sweet spirals of my existence
break through
I find I am breathing out an air
of precious gladness
Into the verses of soft words
That ensue

you display a propensity for skillfully attaching romance and tender raw emotion to the written word, which i greatly admire and enjoy. you are indeed a romantic poet of the first order, worthy of praise and attention. obviously... you possess the combination of a lover's heart and a warrior soul. exquisite...

Left in an ecsaty that may be slightly immoral. Such a wonderful way to stop and take a break. Let the customers wait while I read again.

Very well versed! I love the way you ended it as well, really gives life to the poem as a whole. I also love your title, it grabs the reader's attention right away. Great job!
