So the words are still there Churning aggregate against A worn cylinder spun To be poured out And settle in forms But I have never danced With Iambe on sawdust floor Or paddled stream With lustful ending Under spreading bluff And may never again Even dream of such As the binding Quick-limed media Hardens even now We have shared Cared to share Stories told with tears That stained sheets velum fine Leaving watermarks of their own On records of who constructed Who designed Who maintained Clinging grime From sacks dumped into stiff breeze Forcing back onto our skin Irritating dust once packaged Sewn tightly Or folded and glued Like the words now are upon This page There may be need to mix More ideas and thoughts together In the churning spinning worn Cylinder But for now I wait for the swan To find the pools already created And filled with all the liquid wants Desired in dreams That are not Were not But constructions Architected To fill an empty space Swans do not sing But I think their song Is being sung to me |

The beauty of silent song as can only be heard by a true admirer of a long lost soul is that which is felt, like a breeze on the heart... only a few, only a very few, understand it's true significance... and are truly blessed. |

I have read some of your other poems and I must say that I really like how your thoughts just blend so nicely and easily into each stanza...keeping focused is something that I have to pay attention to. But you, it seems to come naturally or does it? I sometimes wonder if it just comes more naturally to some and for others it is a struggle. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed this and it ended it on a nice note. I always have trouble with endings. Thanks for sharing, caterina |

Sunshine... sometimes the not hearing is indeed the listening we have to do... thanks for your words..and what I think they infer. Caterina: When I write, the thoughts are already there, meaning they have formed themselves and my act of writing them is only formalizing into words what I feel or want to describe. Perhaps the flow you speak of is easier for me than some. My work demands I connect the dots ( so to speak) making sure things flow one into the other. I appreciate your comments and thank you very much for the kind words... |

So well, to know the urging on of open dreams, and waiting realities. Usually, I find you here to lift me, today I found a prize that is special and understood. The best is yet to come. ThisDiamond |

"Swans do not sing But I think their song Is being sung to me"   (sigh) This is so very true, sweet friend, and I know lightly as a feather these pearls from beyond the dreams depths will find a way to you! (big hugggsssss) This is marvelous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

This left me feeling somewhat melancholy.. not too sure why,...but it did. I admire the way you write. Much enjoyed. ~Hugs~ ~ Time has cast a spell on you |

Ron Swans do sing...their voice could be silence, or a breath...something that touches without touching. I hear it in this poem. |

Damn, but that was fine. I admire the competency of your writing as much as the thought that drives it. (presuming that you even give these things, thought) ~Ed |
