The music of the silence < !signature-->Blowing soft within my ears A harmony of nothingness Falling calm and clear. A serenade of quiet stars Rippling in pools of air ‘Neath waves of folding night I see you standing there. Silhouetted by the gleaming moon My spirit moves to you The moments still within your eyes Because forever's what is true. No song escapes your tender lips But words aren’t needed now Just lay against the slumbering earth And hold sacred our vow. The music of the silence Rushes through my soul Rest here and dream with me So the stillness we can know. *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis [This message has been edited by Alwye (edited 08-06-2000).] |

Beautiful poem here, Krista. A wonderous blend of imagery as always, I especially loved that second verse, "A serenade of quiet stars." very cool! I liked this much sweety! Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |

So pretty, Krista... "‘Neath waves of folding night" "Just lay against the slumbering earth" Some of your word~scenes are simply sumptuous! ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Wonderful poem Krissa... Just wonderful. I like the way you used the stars... it adds to the effect, at least for me. "The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper." Eden Phillpotts *Cassandra Roseen* |
