Along dusty lanes dappled with mid-summer splender Among climatis curling furtively in climb The air is thick with fragrance of the morning and Silence stretches out the length of time In shadows deep that beckon one to slumber On hills that rise from fields of tossing gold The air is filled with breezes that will whisper the quiet that does still till day is old Perhaps some laden clouds will spill their treasure and breezes escalate to tepid tempest fly The air will break between the hailing deluge till Silence once more kisses rain goodbye Dust will dry again to rising billows Climatis drinks till drops are hard to find But air will carry moisture it remembers and Silence once more stretches length of time If a man has not discovered something he is willing to die for,his life is not worth living. Martin Luther King,Jr. Detroit,1963 [This message has been edited by Street Heart (03-16-2003 04:02 PM).] |

Thank you all for your votes.This was my original submission back in July,2000,under "Geoffrey Sonnen".Doreen Peri read this offering on another poetry site and invited me to "Passions" because of it.I am hoping that I can finally have this published after all these years of turmoil.This was submitted in "Voices On The Web",but since I became homeless shortly thereafter,there was no possible way to contact me for verification or consent.So,here it is again. Thanks,Geoffrey If a man has not discovered something he is willing to die for,his life is not worth living. |

Wow, I like this poem very much, and I hope it makes it into Reflections.  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

Geoffrey, I really had to think to get the meaning here, but that may have been because it is 3 15 in the morning as I write this. LOL. I really enjoyed and will be back for another read when I am fully awake. Dawn |

The rhyme, rhythm and reason of this very readable and deceptively simple piece generate a tranquil feeling as one reads, which is most compatible with the title and theme. The manner of your expression controls the matter in such a way as to create a poem of style and meaning. I enjoyed it very much and have placed it in the library for further visits. I hope that my vote will bring the reward of my being able to also read it in the anthology! [This message has been edited by pjtalty (04-05-2003 11:19 PM).] |
