The wind in respect has retreated for a rest
to allow the birds and bees and me
a chance to freely fly
into the silent meaningful.

The sun burns its ardour down
like a conciliatory embrace
for it knows that in the silence
I'll find my past mistakes.

I'll also find how love can be
when wings aren't clipped and tied
and the busy, busy, worker bee
that scattered can't decide.

I'll find the sons and daughters
born to enlighten me
and all the dress-up clothes
that hid my vulnerability.

And I'll find you standing there
at ease in your belief
that mingled, meshed, and intertwined
with transitory life ~
and I will find I cannot find
the silence of your heart!

"at ease in your belief
that mingled, meshed, and intertwined
with transitory life"

And I will find i cannot find
The Silence of your heart!

This is really interesting to me because most people can't find their own silence of their heart even and it is something that everyone should try to achieve.. this one is a keeper and going in my private collection!
Very nice indeed!

Enjoyed
Rich!

Thanks, SimOriah!

The trouble with finding one's own silence of heart is that you try to relate by finding the other person's - well, indeed, it's something that one cannot choose not to do because it just naturally happens. Most times people are so tied up in life's merry knots that they become like impenetrable fortresses and then they're ... what? ... dead maybe. Something like that I guess.

Helen,

Some poems can be seen and I saw yours. I really enjoyed your poem and I, too, liked the title a lot.
