Pulse Swift thoughts be still intrude not on this morn dead calm has settled full on virgin day A voice infused soft murmurs being born to cleanse this heart of all that which it may The aging tired cells of past regrets now bathed in pure liquid tranquility Are silent for a time that's not been set suspended in fluid reality A cadence brief it's echo innocent the breath of life distilled can now be heard Above the din contained by moments spent too long a fool ignores unspoken words This pulse is all that's left of it's domain the more so precious sweet sounds it's refrain |

The pulse thereby leading to the beat of your heart... So good! Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

beautifully written Doctor. wonderful poem. The aging tired cells of past regrets now bathed in pure liquid tranquility Are silent for a time that's not been set suspended in fluid reality A cadence brief it's echo innocent the breath of life distilled can now be heard "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else" faster-Manic street preachers. |

Sunshine, Exactamundo ! I sometimes wonder if Shakespear was a morning person ? Brian, Thank you for your kind words . Though inspired by the morning's solitude , this reflects a day's re-writing . I'm most appreciative of your comments . Michael G , You should have seen some of my first attempts ! For a while it seemed that this form was going to get the best of me .As Sunshine said " back to the heart " Doc |

DrMoose~ This is just so very pretty. 'This pulse is all that's left of it's domain the more so precious sweet sounds it's refrain' Wonderful phrasing. Enjoyed it so much. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

MA Miller , There seem to be very few moments , as busy as we all are , to set aside all the distractions and just really listen , and appreciate . Thanks for the R&R . Irish Rose, The cadence of the heart just seemed to slip perfectly into the meter of the sonnet once it was quiet .Thank you for your comments . Doc |
