Here In This Place, I Can Hear |

In the silence they call to me and I listen intently trying to hear the chants upon the winds of evermore but they are not here, where the sounds of civilization race by disturbing the tranquility of a past, when the mountains murmur would hush in reverance as the campfires glowed and voices could be heard telling sacred stories of old; their heritage, in tradition told. I gaze past the mountains of same searching the darkness for the light to draw me near, so I can hear. Da dum, Da dum, the pounding of the drums.............. accompanied only by the distant howl of a brethern spirit in memories hold. Here, in this place I can hear........ I know that you can 'read' me |

Those are words of a real poet. I have been away for some time from Passions, and every now and again I do come by and this poem has reassured me of the greatness of this wonderful family of poets that reside here. I thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful and well-written poem. Thank you for sharing such beauty. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love |

I too, have a special place where I go to "hear". It is so apparent to me that you write from the well of your wisdom of the ages and your inner-knowing. This is a timeless piece of poetry and well-deserving of being read, and 'heard' over and over....It now has a new home in my library, dear poet friend! ~ Congratulatory hugs for this little masterpiece Linda |
