Silent Mind The mind is silent except for a few trickles of language that drip from the vastness of its realm. Even words are just symbols that encompass only a fraction of a thought, for the rest of its sphere is eclipsed by the senses , which leave their shadow in it’s path. Dialogue disruptsthe most splendid and most creative moments that surface in a flash of verbal lightening, which appears so vividly, then disappears into the night sky Poetry perpetuates a thought, brings life to a notion and leaves just enough to the imagination so that all will read the passage in the light of a different moon. The most splendid verse is strung with phrases of beauty that incite another mind to pull back the curtain of words from off the page and peek into that which lies in its shadows Elizabeth Santos |

Your mind isn't very silent when it comes to expressing yourself Elizabeth......More than a mere tricle when it comes to your thoughts on a page. This is a super read! |

When I first came here, I learned how to use imagery FROM YOU to express myself in my works and now you offer up INSPIRE as the next lesson in your class. Beautifully penned and presented and so true are your words. Very much enjoyed. |

My mind was way too silent, so I thought that I would come back and revisit this wonderful piece of yours and of course, I had to "bump" it ... well, because I can and I don't think it was read by half the people that it deserves to be read by. |
