Listen to the Warm

Listen to the Warm

 

 

 

 

 

I listen to the warm.

It centers me and makes me whole.
It reminds me
that I was someone’s daughter,

that someday

I’ll become an author of a book,
the one that stirs within my consciousness

whenever I listen to the warm.

Whenever I find myself

caught in the quiet of a rain soaked day,
lonely for places I’ll never go

…like Schenectady, or Paris.

 

 

Author's Note

I took a quote from this poem and titled it, “In the Quiet”, which I posted in March of last year. And on another note, one of my favorite poets, Rod McKuen, titled a book of poetry by the very same title...just in case you took notice!

Sometimes, when we are in that zone, our inner self speaks. The one of dreams, the one of possibilities. You have captured this beautifully here.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Sometimes, all I need is a visual...and this conjured up my soul to speak. Some poems speak with a louder voice, and this one resonated through me. I am thrilled you enjoyed it as well!

Very fresh & interesting take on finding our center, the place where things are quiet & warm & balanced. I like the details of what this means for the narrator, the dreams & visions for him/her . . . also prompting the reader to ponder such possibilities . . . and the bliss of seeking our power spot.

I love how your words carry such a sense of presence. There is past, and your life's unfolding. The present and its beautiful wholeness. And this hopeful light into tomorrow; this someday. xo

There is a soft grace to your words. Your phrasing whispers in harmonies as a warm breeze tends to young leaves in the moonlight. Your poetry Kelly is that of dreams, it touches the reader softly and creates a euphoric palette in the mind. This was beautiful and so very real.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I want my reader to feel what I feel...thank you for interpreting that so eloquently!

warm is that feeling that everything is all right in the world, at least for that moment. Love how you have conveyed your consciousness of that inner glow!!! Great write, perfect word choices!!! Stunning, my friend!!

[Kelly Scheppers]

You give me goosebumps when you say those things...awww, what a friend you are! x

[Jennesis]

So happy to spend a couple spare minutes in the beauty of your work Kelly. I have never thought that I listened to the warm....but in the depth of my being I can hear it, and it comforts me. Perfect..

[Kelly Scheppers]

My heart is overjoyed seeing you, Jenn. May the holiday season be the warmest of all holidays for you! Take care!

Another one of your awesome poems, most times i feel this way and words wont just come out. I relate to this too much, especially this line I’ll become an author of a book,
the one that stirs within my consciousness. Good job Kelly

[Kelly Scheppers]

You are overtly kind, Cassie...thank you!

Thanks. I'm not very photogenic...oh well. Maybe I just think I look better than I really do. Ha.
