The words are but a murmur,, That lies beneath the rhythm Of water over stone. Spoken long ago And many times in many places They mean the same… yet never do. As music, They are Gregorian chant… or be-bop One is never sure… Heard by your heart They speak beyond sound They are felt… more than heard. Speak them again So I might hear the meaning… As it was intended For… The words are but a murmur, That lies beneath the rhythm Of life over days. |

A day in the life of a poet... or a life in the day of a poet? Universal; yet personal... sticking like sap to a tree, but at the same time becoming amber which may itself contain other lifeforms and their wisdoms for future generations... Isn't poetry wonderful? Yours sure is! :-] -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

A wonderful write! "Heard by your heart They speak beyond sound They are felt… more than heard." Ah the power of your written word here! "The words are but a murmur,, That lies beneath the rhythm Of water over stone." You can listen and learn but it's always wonderful to have it in print...it's so solid there! Excellent write! |
