Building Bridges Over the Silence of Disbelief

In hopes someone would sing my thoughts
while breathing in
a tantalizing dance,
I painted an existence with hands full
of shining light.
I then waited for my heart’s desires
to come to life
running in my blood and spirit
like an army’s
last advance.

The Earth is something that holds my emotions
upon rippling waves
of healing winds,
streaming to me in an isolated dance.
Yet, sometimes
I get lost in the night sky
and find myself cursing the pain
sitting on the grounds of today’s truth
and circumstance.

My hands seek reasons to forgive
the silence of disbelief,
while catching secrets that have been
thrown away
and even if I nailed
the windowsill of confusion shut,
my heart would still care about tomorrow
but my mind could not be changed
nor swayed.

Wow... It's... I really don't have the words to sum up how powerful this is. Beautiful and loving, with an underlying bleak quality. It takes my breath away... and my capacity for sensible thought. You always, but always touch my mind and soul with your work. What more can be said

Harmonious, compatible, dulcet are your words... they echo pleasurably in my mind... A beautiful piece of work... and as long hope is still alive in our souls, we will be always fighting to see the light of tomorrow...

Very powerful! This is brilliantly penned, and I can realate to almost all of this. The silence of disbelief is deadly. It's like a snake, peircing the numbness of our viens

A powerful poem. We are tested often. We must hold on to hope and care for the future. I like the way you led the reader in the quest for understanding. I had to read a few times. Your amazing poetry is the example to how to make the language a pleasure to read and understand. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.
