Someday

to feel safe among the reeds as the wind blows, mysteriously

 would be all I need. 

even more than a haunting symphony 

around my heart and other parts 

your voice remains each time we speak 

inside my head, reminding me 

of what I need 

but dare not say. 

I turn and walk away each time 

against that wall, too high to climb 

lanterns light this darkened road 

shadows preen 

tho no one hears its silent fear 

falling forward only to disappear

someday...

~~ oh... sensitive alisa... i just know this personal (inner) silence so well that sometimes i spook myself out... and keep wondering interminably if i'll ever say the things i truly want to say... especially to the one i need to say them too the most... ~~ exquisite poetry... a heartsong that'll stay with me for a long, long time... p.s. this poem tells me precisely why i'm unable to write since quite some time now...

Hello serah,

Thank you for your kind words.

I have found that there are times when words alone won't do...we need the actions and the full cooperation of the heart and soul as well.

Wishing you well.

~~ yeah... you're right... thank you for sharing that insight and for reminding me of other dimensions of my own psyche, sweet friend... :)

I have this image of the subject of the poem speaking the words that need to be said and them coming out like a force ten gale and knocking the walls that separate them down.
Thats your painting of those images that is Alisa - powerful stuff - and potent
amazing stuff!!
