Song of Strange

Life, darkness, soul

Songbirds wander
within my soul,
in search of sound
in silence strange.

The black yonder,
in devil's hole,
a birch, it tethers 
to a foal.

Its cries echo through leaden
sky, begging for a change.

Smothered sounds, 
a blanket woven
the stillness of the strange.

What we see often becomes more than is in a writer's mind.. perhaps because we each see or notice different colours, shapes, shadows. etcetera. And, in the process, just for blink of an eye or a sigh, time stays still and begs a change of impossible direction. Perhaps this is how you see and feel.

'.. the stillness of the strange.' What is strange to one, can be usual or common to another.

I love reading your reviews, always intrigue me. Thank you for reading, Emma :)

You are a wonderful writer. Your words speak to my heart. Devesh, please keep writing. Keep me updated. Haha.

[Devesh]

My heartfelt thanks to you, Arzel! :) I'm glad the words speak to you. No worries, I'll spam your account with RRs xD

[Blue]

Might take time to respond, though. I still have 130 plus RRs! Haha.

Woah, I just get a couple a day, so no problems for me..:P

Another darkly colored hue upon your poetry, sweetly render'd....I'd change last line first verse to 'in silence strange', but that's just me....still love'd the read. :-)

[Devesh]

Thank you for reading, Frieda, your suggestion has been duly noted :)

[Frieda P]

Oh that doesn't work either, my bad, now you have two 'ins'...ha, I need more coffee, will get back to you ;-)

[Devesh]

This was not expected from you, William. Pity! :P

[Frieda P]

Ha forgive me!! I have this thing with reusing the same words in such close proximity, just my own idiosyncrasies. ;-)

[Devesh]

For what it's worth, I quite like it, regardless of the proximity. Not changing it now! :)

[Frieda P]

Ha I might get the shakes ;-)

[Frieda P]

'beyond silence strange' Best I got..... ;-)

[Devesh]

Naah, it's staying this way now. :)
