Wordless

Carry me to a wordless world

On rippling currents of incandescence

Where music blossoms agelessly

Pulsing peace in every note

Upon the ocean’s cresting wildness

Rising on transcendent sunfire

Azure waters and azure waves

A thousand, thousand years of water

Let me rest in the ambiance of you

Luminous atmosphere of angels

There above that steep, rocky ridge

Reminiscing of a world ineffable

Inexpressible in wonder

Forever wordless.

 

Author's Note

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”
― Rumi

Every line in this poem is so gentle, so endlessly lulling...you have crafted a beautiful world,
where the air would be rich with the sound of music, and the waves like molten gold under the brilliant sunshine. I take that by wordless you mean free from all arguments, and talks of war...a world as tranquil as a song...
"Upon the ocean’s cresting wildness
Rising on transcendent sunfire," are my favourite lines from here.

I so deeply appreciate your kindness and peaceful light that you bring with you. And yes, may the world find this place of life where war and hate are only distant echoes. Wishing you much inspiration in this new week, dear poet.

[Sami Khalil]

Pretty, airy words not forgotten in your soul. How I've missed them. Your words are a timeless breath circling above in a non-stop current of time. Beautiful Craig!

[An owl on the moon]

Ah, my sister, you are like a precious ghost from my past. So thankful to have you here again. So looking forward to seeing your inspirations flowing.

Firstly, I was attracted to your profile picture because I adore owls; they remind me of my mother. "Wordless" is an experience we've all shared. I often do not know what to say when I'm extremely upset or angry. We all react in different ways whether we shut down or throw a tantrum. We choose how we react.

I love the softness; the imagery relaxes the reader into an escape. We all need that from time to time. I think that its human nature to constantly be in a rush. At work, your pace is never fast enough. There is always a speed higher. I find solace in your words; there is music there.

Thank you for sharing!

[An owl on the moon]

So thankful for your words, and that you find something so beautiful in the vision of owls as well. And oh, I wish I was silent more in times of anger. Silence can bring such a peace that is beyond this earth. May you stay in the currents of solace today.

[Vria P Crow]

I learned the silence brings the earth to a stillness so living things can reflect. The only thing I don't like about silence is the creation of "bad thoughts." for instance, when your partner is angry with you for being quiet and asks you what is wrong when you simply need time to reflect. Your poetry has a way of calming you down. I can tell. :D

[An owl on the moon]

I do understand those voices that rise from the stillness. Pulling us down. I am an introvert, and so I dive inside myself for peace at times, which might appear as rudeness to others. Yes, times of reflection to bring you back to life. May it be. :)

the longing for only notes
that sing wordlessly... cool

Your kindness is much appreciated. I lift my glass to you.

[Saumya]

I wish we all had this wordless place, very near to us, so that we could often visit.They are so very necessary for a lost and wandering hopeless soul sometimes :)

Thankyou for sharing this magnificent piece, your piece is an inspiration!
I've always thought of writing on the same topic, but I wasn't successful yet :) I'm glad I found yours!

Happy writing!

How your words gave me such joy, Saumya! Thank you! I do wander often to a river that whispers silences to me, but I know you have a sacred space within you to awaken peace and light. I see it in your poetry. May it always carry you on its current. :)

[Saumya]

Sometimes it is "wordless places" like these the cure one the better than anything or anybody else can *smile*
I'm glad you found my words joyful, and the fact that you think si high for my poetry, indeed is a huge compliment! Thankyou so much for that , and sure! I'll keep it up😊

You're welcome, Craig, it was wonderful reading this piece of yours.

Music is a language
You just have to listen

[An owl on the moon]

So appreciated. And yes, day and night I do love listening.

Azure waters and azure waves
A thousand, thousand years of water

Just such a beautiful and soothing place. Somewhere I would want to dwell forever. Loved it.

[An owl on the moon]

Very happy to have you by again, dear Divya. Thank you. Yes, this is a place I hope to find one day. It must exist somewhere.

[AYVID N]

Dear Craig, I pray you find the world of your dreams.

[An owl on the moon]

Thank you. If I find it I'll send a map. I'm pretty sure gps doesn't reach there.

[Great Aunt Astri]

Sounds heavenly! And I like the poem too, with its evocative words and gentle rhythm.
