"Empty Words"

With green leaves whispering above me
I wonder what their eyes can see
So high above
They breathe their words to me

I sit so quiet as quiet can be
Under skies so blue
Now and then
A cloud slips away

I hear a bird’ innocent call
What wonderful colors to see
The trees are so high
It touches the sky far above

Like the empty words of my dream
I sit here and listen
Most of you will not be troubled
By those empty words of my dream

But surely by the silent words
Of your conscious mind
High above I see you
A singing speck of grace

Skylark hangs still
Soaring in silence
I pause to hear them sing
Soul mate listen long… much longer than I

On this morning bright and fair
Gracefully she plays her part
Through the calm brisk air
I can feel the rhythm of life

The pleasure to be here
Alive and breathing
While green leaves
Whispering above me

I soar on wounded wings
Wings of friendship
Without words to hear
Empty!!

Haunting and sad. . .but the sky IS blue, and as long as there is
a speck of grace, there is hope. . .and faith? "A pleasure to
be here!" 'Pea' <3

Tinka,

The clipped wings are only temporary. I have the feeling that healing will strengthen them.

Well expressed vision of the way things sometimes are in the dream world and the real world. This conjures up many images but for me the srongest feeling I received was hope. well done Tink.

What may appear to be empty
is a blessing waiting to be filled.

I find this poem to be peaceful and uplifting.

EXCELLENT...

"silent words" ... like you, they are heard in our poetry.

a broken heart
a sad part

a love

a poem

a write
at daylight
or in midnight

empty words
words we heards

love
forever
never
ever & ever...
