Pause to wonder please
footprints of time
wondering which leads
to twilight which to sunset

I am SilenceCravingSound
to listen to truly hear
the all within the one
the one in all as understanding

EveryLeaf on EveryTree
in simulatenous awareness
life the forest sings I stare
at the SoManyInstrumented score

LifesMusic conducts us
keepers guardians of the timeless
caught in a moment frozen in mid-cue
pondering twilights dawn

the downbeat awaits the sparkle
of stars and you as I rise
wondering at those footprints
I place my own within raise the baton

The night in thunder begins
the overture tumbling about me
drenched in sound upon sound I
breathe the crescendo exhaling life

I am within and without
nowhere and every place
in this the very heart
of the LifeSong I pause to wonder

" I can lie to my mirror only so long as it chooses to listen to me, and look me in the eye."

The last stanza is outstanding. I applaud. Wonderful imagery. Nice one, Atelamon!

After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all.

of stars and you as I rise...

Thank you...I will pause now to wonder.

I liked this, I truly did.

This must surely be one of my favorites of your poems I have read. Very layered, very zenlike. Very nice. Thanks for it.
