I dwell amidst my Solitude; No longer clamor 'bout my ears. These walls with clangor once imbued; All resonance pealed back some years No stentor left about my ears - Now hear what's left, I venture on. I'll hearken here ensuing years And cherish sounds from those bygone. My wistful journey ventures on As Solitude peers back at me. No clamor from those years bygone, And through the silence now I see. My Solitude enlightens me With sounds unheard those years along. A muted silence helps me see How beautiful the warbler's song. Those sweet tunes unheard years along, The breath of wind upon the panes. I revel in the warbler's song And pattering of roof-top rains. The wind breathes gently on the panes. These walls indeed remain imbued - The roof-top patters with the rains; My hearkening fills Solitude. [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 06-29-2000).] |

You have wonderful descriptive ability. I love this. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Wonderful writing, worthy to be a part of any poetry book! A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |

It amazes me that your talent and skill as a poet still takes me by surprise. I am not worthy when in thine presence. You are truly remarkable m'lady.  Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. JP "Everything is your own damn fault, if you are any good." E. Hemmingway |
