Liquidity Of The Night |

Liquidity Of The Night ~*Marge Tindal*~ When the liquidity of the night opened up and swallowed me, I said, to no one in particular, "From whence did you embark to set this journey upon my soul ?" I expected, and received, no immediate answer. I dove again beneath the chasm of the velvet-draped thought that enveloped me. If there was a question, wouldn't it stand to reason that there should be an answer ? Thoughts now came in rapid fissure of fluidity. Kaleidoscopically focusing my mind's eye. Sketching me in all the colors of my palette. What now this light of brightness heightens ? Darker still the answers hiding from the questions. Suddenly the clarity of the knowing came, overwhelming me in it's simplicity. The flash of brilliance over as quickly as it began, Intuitively I knew I'd found the answer. The profundity was the glimpse of my own soul, of that there was no question. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Truely wonderful. I especially liked the following: Suddenly the clarity of the knowing came, overwhelming me in it's simplicity. The flash of brilliance over as quickly as it began, Intuitively I knew I'd found the answer. The profundity was the glimpse of my own soul, of that there was no question. Great read. |

I LOVE this it is so beautiful, how do you keep producing such consistant and beautiful words. Do you never have an off day? Well maybe one of your off days would be one of my flashes of poetry. |

Marge~ I loved this!!! The answer always lies within your soul. It is there, we just have to discover it. Very nice writing. You have my vote!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Kit~ I appreciate your thoughts. This was truly an awesome experience that dawned in me and I'm thankful that Martie was up to preview it for me and encourage me to post it. Serenity~ Wow ! If you experienced this one ... then I don't feel so out in left field. This one was a new experience for me ... it happened so quickly that I was not sure who had written it or where the phrases came from .... a new muse for sure. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
