Listening ~

to Devi ~

in the Art 

of listening 

my heart lifted

to the surreal blossom 

of a dream in aqua~marine

this precious sea of subtle light ~here

I silence my thoughts  

to feel 

the purity 

the halo of a precious moment 

to open

and gently surround me in 

the language of the soul ~ meaning 

I felt her whisper 

in the shadow of her eyes 

the essence of ~ this

spilling from her lips 

the poetry within 

the everything with ~ in 

you and I

This is clever in it's simplicity, yet the imagry draws me in rather deeply. The silencing of thinking to simply embrace the beauty of the moment. Incredibly beautiful and I love your words, "a dream in aqua-marine"--absolutley breathtakingly lovely!

Whoa, rainy day happening while I mused into checking wc. Had to hello. This one made significant sense to me. Hope all is well, goodbye.

Focused meditation, the essence unfolded like the petals of the lotus flowers and all was seen and all was known. She and you, you and she-lines blurring.

[Relic]

Flows like a meditation. The silence says more than some words do.

[Siddhartha]

You silently draw in, and then never let go. Hope you are well my friend. So happy to have read this poem today.

Weaves well and leaves the aftertaste of ...wanting more.

Was good to see you back today... I just opened this ne to say Hi.

[Ladysue]

When we open ourselves to those precious moments where nothing is know or unknown and just listen and be, there is joy.. Beautifully written as always..

[SkinlessFrank]

your verse is light water flowing over rocks in a clear stream

[Corset]

So happy to see you writing again, I can never point out a favorite line or stanza with you, all are equally admired.
