I Have No Words

I have no words

Only soft silences

But they will speak if you listen

And you will know

A deeper place in me

Far beneath the shallows

Where words cannot reach

Fathomless futures

In worlds without end

Of runes, of riddles

Secret places of peace 

Deeper than those utterances

Of the soul’s stillness

Wander if you will

Into the depths of me

Where the only voice

Is the echo of my silence...

Of runes, of riddles
Secret places of peace
Deeper than those utterances
Of the soul’s stillness

sublime - almost surreal and mesmerizing. Well penned

[An owl on the moon]

I appreciate you stopping by again.. truly.. This came from a dark, lonely place.. a deeper place.. a place most often hidden.. x

Words speak loudly and we hear, Silence speaks softly ...and our soul listens...beautiful piece, Craig...

soft silences are sometimes peaceful, renewing, and allow deep introspect... we just have to be careful not to fall too far... those riddles have a way of making us lose our footing, our vision, and our resolve... but sometimes those secret places can be just what the doctor ordered... The words will return when you discover what it is that those shadows want you to see... the echoes of the deeper depths sometimes are the loudest and the most beautiful... awesome write as usual, my friend... I really love the way in which you write...

Appreciate you here, my friend... yes... still scraping at the walls in the falling... surely there will be a bottom to reach... Wishing you only words of light and life... always..

I have been to those depths, I have allowed others to go there in me. It is terrifying from both points of view. Inevitably we expose our naked souls for judgement, only hoping they are soft with us.

I'm afraid I can't stop falling... Thank you for your insights, Cory.

The most beautifully sad but elegant poems usually are from a painful place inside the poet.

[An owl on the moon]

If that's true, then if you slit me open right now, only light would pour out...

[Corset]

How wonderful to think of you that way, spilling light like a cloud who's sun has burst through, If I remember correctly you have overcome depression a time or two yourself, so this last statement is music to your admirers.

[An owl on the moon]

Yes.. I know the darkness so well... and I don't fear it anymore... Thank you.. thank you for your kindness...
