The Calling An imperceptible whisper…… dripping from a thought so insignificant that a memory never forms and is almost lost among the torrent persistent in its relentless flowing… towards the waterfall of emotions in the heart. Robert if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |

Robert, Makes me think of the muse's whisper. Hardly even there sometimes. I've missed enough of them to know that no one else can help you find those lost whispers. I keep a small net with me at all times now knowing full well that if I don't capture it when it whisps by, it is gone forever. |

Upon the winds of the most silent whispers rest some of the most astounding contributions to the world and life itself. This was a wonderful poem in many ways and left me thinking. I take it as if we ignore that whisper because we don't see it as important then we are casting ourselves into a pool of confusion down the road.........All the thoughts that enter our mind need tending to in one way or another. |

This is metaphor in a refreshing form. Memories in a waterfall. Wonderful! "Every man dies. Not every man truly lives." Braveheart Kathleen |

An imperceptible whisper…… dripping from a thought so insignificant that a memory never forms ...sigh...that's how I feel sometimes.so insignificant...I drip from no one's memory...you do write so well, Robert ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Wynter....I think you do exist in many memories. You are a river flowing onward. |

RobertB~ Never met a whisper I didn't like. This is just a brilliant little gem and happens to like me very much, thank you ! 'a thought so insignificant that a memory never forms' I think I never had one of those - and I think I'm glad. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Definitely one to activate gray cells, Robert. I think our lives are filled with these little thoughts not heavy enough to spring the tripswitch of memory but they add up, unnoticed, until one day a conclusion is reached or an action is initiated by the unseen force of their combining....am I making sense at all? Believe me, it's ok to say no...I may agree! |

Marge...I really DID read your reply a little differently since you sent me your pics!!! LOL I have to brag about that!! Vic...you gave me a big compliment when you said you had to read it 3 times. Thank you!! Balladeer...I love to tickle the grey matter. I can't play the piano, so I have to tickle something ivory. Robert |
