Now that I have brushed off the layers of dust that had gathered my blog, I am trying to write more.
Phew! Getting back to writing is tough, it is! There were days when everything was an inspiration and I could write 3-4 poems a day and then there is now – where it takes me 1-2 days to complete one poem!! 😥
So well, here’s another poem from the struggling poet factory! 😳
~::~ Silence ~::~
In my dreams
Sifting moonbeams
I feel at peace
My heart’s at ease
I sit gazing at iridescent moon
Oh this silence is such a boon
Moving through clouds
Like a loner in crowds
Silvery mist swirls around me
‘neath cherry blossom tree
I sit gazing at iridescent moon
Oh this silence is such a boon
Harmonized glimmer of million fireflies
Attributing onset of a titian sunrise
As russet rays pervade the sky
Time to wake up, my heart cries
While a merry songbird croons
Oh the silence was such a boon!

Ah, beautiful things sometimes happen in times of silence.
Absolutely!! Sometimes silence is soulfully precious! 🙂
while the silence is there…the image of a million fireflies is quite beautiful and magical….
perhaps that is worth the boon of the silence…
wow, bee a very long time meg
yep!! been a long time my friend. But i must admit, it does feel gud to be back! 😀
And now I shud vow to keep up the momentum of posting regularly!!
Beautiful word pictures uplift mind…silence is truly such a boon 🙂
thank you sumana!! yes indeed silence can make or break d moment!
Lost the silence to the songbirds, but that is another gift!
songbirds are worth losing silence to! dont you think so 😉
Fortunately silence can be followed by pleasant noises.
yes indeed! esp those of song birds and nightingales.. oh sometimes even crickets seem melodious! 🙂
Hey…how about visiting the poets (above) from Poetry Jam who took the time to visit you? We all like to have our poems read, and if you participate actively and comment on others’ poems, you will also find yourself receiving more visits for yours.
Dear Mary, I did visit most of them initially.. But i wasnt able to login over the weekend to keep up with the visits and comments.
Usually whenever i post for a prompt i make it a point to visit atleast 5 posts immediately! 🙂
But as you suggested I shall keep up the momentum of participating actively! 🙂
I love it the emotion of silence captured in your words such beautiful images.
Thank you Alan! as i mentioned in one of the comments too, silence sometimes is soulfully precious!!
Silence is heaven for writers… Silence is a boon, I agree 🙂
But sometimes silence can also peak the writers block for a poet!!
dont you think?
I took a cruise in the dream boat, wishing the boat is never moored. Awesome!!
aaww thank you Susmit! I hope your dream boat is never moored!! 🙂
Silence like dreams can be a time of renewal and awakening. This is beautiful! 🙂
Thank you Carrie.. Yes thats a wonderful way of looking at it! 🙂
May be it’s just me, but, the confusion of the poet is coming out – whether it’s a boon or a bane conundrum is still in the air, like the mist that you are talking about. Hope you find yourself in the silence!
haha!! Well, i wudnt say confusion of the silence. Silence is an aspect that can be looked at in different ways, as i mentioned in an earlier comment – Silence can make or break the situation! so this is probably one of the myriad situations that Silence can be a boon! 😉
Beautifully penned! 🙂
Thank you Ramya! 🙂
Silence has it’s own magic, well written 🙂
Yes indeed!! A magic of its own!! Thank you! 🙂
A lovely, youthful poem with your optimistic thoughts well expressed.
Thank you for stopping by! Im not sure about the optimistic part but conundrum is def there! 😀
“a titian sunrise
As russet rays pervade the sky”
Really enjoyed the “titian” reference. When I was young, he was one of my favorite old time painters.
aaah!!! thank you Margaret! i like that reference too and i wonder how come i never bothered using it before! 🙂
