'Barely audible yet overwhelmingly viable'
is Jude ForÉse's 'heart scrolling.'Keep scrolling as it is awesome.

The heart of an adventurer bares many scars. You make poetry an adventure too Jude. You give us the heart of the man.
Love,
Susan

Jude,
We feel the earth's vibrations all the time. It is those vibrations that heal and guide us through our daily life. Walking along the earth's crust, can revive and vitalize us if only we can be open to it's healing energy and strong vibrations.
Much Peace, Love, and Light,

A truly extraordinary piece of writing!

His heart scrolling through nights
Of timeless ventures
And memories revived from future voyages

These verses struck me in particular but the whole poem is worthy of much more than a single reading; substance for reflection for sure. Thank you, Jude. Love and best wishes,

Regis

I remember feeling this in a write I wrote once, "Hope is Restless"

Knowing, where the slightest ember, glowing...there lies a glimmer. The rain never flooded his fire out! Yet, drops on his window's pain, woke him up!
I love where you take me, Jude!
"Sounds from the Ground", is one I will keep, and one I will always listen for!
Bravo!
Love and Peace~

Like mysterious open wings and a zephyr wrapping around the senses; your write intrigues and mystifies, Death certainly can be construed as another beginning.

A great write my friend, gripping with great imagery...well done you are talented indeed!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

Oh the words of THE POET sounding his verse through the ground. I really like this combo.

"His heart scrolling through nights
Of timeless ventures
And memories revived from future voyages

Sounds from the ground
Barely audible yet overwhelmingly viable
Tick away
To keep him alive for tomorrow"


And tomorrow your ring will echo louder.

They say that one only has to listen to hear and it appears that it must be true.....

Be safe,
Karen

Ooooooh... I sense a vampire here. Werewolf? Man buried alive?

Fantastic symphony of sounds in this one, rumbling and burring away to create that seismic tremor effect. Love the balance between the "buried" deep-vowel sounds and the clipped lightness of short nasal sounds, as in "revived, life, itself" and the final "tick, tick, ticking, him, alive". Kinda has the build-up of energy and excitement that accompanies the rush and gush of an oncoming tube train that heralds its long-awaited arrival with that sudden blast and updraught of headwind from the tunnel. You perhaps describe here what it's like to remain faithful to the commitment of a vision by camping out only in its, as yet, unfulfilled past state. By conserving energy and hunkering down, maybe the transitionary stage will pass a little faster. Sounds a bit like living in suspended animation, or in a phase of deconstruction in order to reconstruct. However, far from sleeping there is an acute sense of watchfulness. It's almost like souls awaiting The Rapture or The Second Coming! And it's true; hope makes all things visible, especially those things that have not yet been... Think I'll just go lay my head on a train-track to see what else I can pick up, and see what happens... :)) xx

Intense and deep thoughts that grip at the readers mind keeping him digesting the gist of what you say. Wild stuff.

Excellent offering...always good to read your artistic words!!

Love Tinka

I have missed your words :-) Again your thoughts can be read in different ways. first sentence of each paragragh can keep the heart racing with his experience. Thanks for the joy of your words.

A tapestry woven of past, present, and future; life and death. Paradox at the apex of truth. Enjoyed the poem and the excellent, intriguing title. - David

I hear voices besides my own thoughts, is that anything like sounds from the ground...;) Ed

Leftovers from our passing, leaving and weaving our life,you hope, maybe...... Bless you! Jasmin Horst

There is a still small voice of reason that must be heeded...an excellent write, Jude. Beautifully penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours--

We must listen to what is at our core..HUGS

good one

Sounds from the Ground, the growls of mother earth, echoes of man made cataclysms or the sounding steps of future voyages...
Perhaps we need to start giving CPR to the gound to keep it alive for tomorrow.
Georg

Wow!
Sounds from the ground
Barely audible yet overwhelmingly viable
Tick away
To keep him alive for tomorrow

It is our stories/memories that keep them alive once they're gone. You speak to my heart. Thank you. Yesterday would have been my middle son's 35th birthday, and he "speaks" to me through what we shared.

God bless you. Kathy

From the ground comes the past, all that is hidden, all that did not last. Death and life, past and future all meet there.
Evocative writing.
