And when I saw, there was no tide,

But tranquility of my lake,

I realized, there is no need,

 

  For nothing there is need -

 

All I have, is all in me,

The silence tells enough,

But you are there;

 

And so am I,

Thus quietly we speak...

 

~ Elisa Laura

This piece is wonderful, Elisa. It is small, it is simple, but it is poignant and it speaks so heavily to the heart. I love it. I can sit there and be there by that lake whilst I read this piece, and I truly appreciate the talent it takes in order to do that. =]

Less is so often more, thank you Joshua, once again, your words mean always so much to me. :)

The need anyone but yourself, is not having the confidence one needs. Also, I love how you kept them there but quiet. You are a gorgeous writer and you have so much to proud of. Bravo!! :)

Thank you so much Christian, for your words, :) they always make me happy! my friend. :)

This is so short, yet you can contain so much beauty in such few verses. I felt the tranquility and peace through the poem and it was consistent in word choice and placement. The ending of the poem does not lose any of the power as the last couple verses, and that I found very nice. Great job, Elisa.

Thank you very much Daniela. :)

"quietly we speak..."
Yes Eli, this is a form of serenity. Knowing something if not everything... Trusting in the reality and resting in the dreams.
Oh how I have missed your mysterious mind and your open heart.
Lovely poem Eli!

Thank you so much Scott. :) always ....

Beautiful as always Elisa, something that I need to work on these days, finding the peace that resides within yourself. Not letting the chaos in to rock your world. Perhaps even finding those precious few that can be with you in those serene moments and not bring the baggage and drama of life with them... hmmm. Perfect poem for me today. Seems like I aways leave your work with new realizations, and for that I thank you! Much love sent your way beautiful! xoxo

K. thank you so so much for this brilliant review, you are so close to my heart, you are.
I just am finding it, in between (our hectic days) I am thinking of you, as I hope things will be better, for you pray for me I know, and that's where we are so strong, and happy the same time.... I love us!!! Thank you so much love, you have no idea how this brought me new strength too, and you always are daily on my shoulder, even if i'm a bit offie from here... remember you can talk to me through the other gateways lol -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- much love your way gorgeous queen of poetry :) Love you !

[Great Aunt Astri]

A reflective poem, and yes, serene. Very pleasant to read. Well done.

Thank you so much again sweet great Aunt Astri...................................

[Effector Prime]

shed a tear.. there's really nothing else I can put in words.. sniff

Thank you so much Danny, :) Didn't want to make you shed a tear..... :) hope it's in a good way!

[Effector Prime]

euphoric.. happy but so.. forlorn.. in a very very good way I might add :) forlorn in a good way HAHA! how ironic.... your words just remind me of where I am, and re-emphasize how solitary my existence is in my head.. the lonely position of neutral (trust company's debut album, 2002)
I couldn't write anything more yesterday, really.. I was consumed in my own reflection within a bracket your poem drew around me.. I'm out now! :)
rock on compadre! : )

Thank you Danny, really, it's a choice I made... I rather be with a few good fellows, as yourself, and others, as with a whole group of nonsense. :) Lovely you named that album... ♫ Who is there to trust, sincerely but yourself? :) these days? the world is harsh, and be aware you're harsher, like a train rail..... I love it you're speachless, be it as much as you need, for silence brings inspiration, rather then rambling.... :) Rock on my fellow compadre.... :)

[Effector Prime]

likewise :) and thank you for your kind words :) peace

[dillonjensen]

Ah! I love this. Reminds me so much of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem, "One Ship Sails East." Specifically the last stanza: "Like the winds of the sea
are the waves of time,
as we journey through life.
'Tis the set of the soul
that determines the goal,
and not the calm or the strife."
Simply beautiful, my dear.

Oh how do I love that you come up with that, it resonates with me perfectly, thank you for sharing this.... I love it! That title is so me too... for my dream, and roots lay "East" one day, I will make that poem alive.... thank you deary! -x- :)

[dillonjensen]

You are most welcome! I'm so very glad I stumbled across this particular poem. It resonates with my inner peace and how I came to find that. It's so lovely and beautiful when you can find/see that within yourself for the first time after being so lonely and dark. Bravo. :)

I found it many years back already, during martial arts, since I was 19 until I got phisically so ill, and lost, my spirit, memory and vibe of life, it all is coming slowly back now, I'm getting there. :) and it's wonderful, to find the old Lis again... thank you immensely for your words, support, and true friendship, love to you buddy. :) I'm glad you could resonate here too...

[dillonjensen]

Love always, my friend. Keep shining as bright as you are. People really need to see the light that offer amidst those cloudy days. :)

Aw, you really you are the sweetest buddy. Thank you for the love, and I'm sending it right back to you. You too... keep on being your wonderful self, and the world would smile always cause you are there.... :)
