Silent Night

 

Let the nights come like a clearing

in the woods....with a silent

beckoning

 

where i may gently...

become aware...

of surreal moon-winds

cocooning my skin

 

of winter mist-spun skies

suddenly, sparkling

 with revelations

 

of lucid dreams, 

 sparking fantasies..

and cushioning realities...

    

the bliss of...

slow dancing with sleep

 

of blessings,

soft and forgiving

as my pillow,

 

where darkness,

is a healing balm of light,

 

where the sapphire depth..

of my own love...startles

and warms...

and wounds my soul

 

and never really stops....

deepening

engulfing the night

 as a whole

where nothing else matters...

 

where the only wonder,

warmth and validation I need...

is my own.

Your silent nights shout in beauty and your silent poems echo life eternal...Bravo........

[Lydia Shutter]

Your words stimulate the spirit and raise appreciation of the beauty all around us.. To slow dance in a dreamy state.....to float through the darkness certain the light will return.....to feel the depths of love and swim through them.....ahhhhhhh....what can I say? The romance of the imagery here is stunning....absolutely stunning. A write of empowerment, Sanober. Your poetic talents know no bounds!

This is exquisite poetry, Sanober.

I could have quoted any of your verses, but these two were particularly appealing to me. Your talent is awe inspiring - you are one of my favorite poets on WC, and this poem is perhaps my favorite of all of your poems I have read. It is going into my favorites list, too!

[Kelly Scheppers]

You are truly the personification of poetry, Sanober! This is a gem, like so many in your glorious crown!


My best,
Kelly
