Inspired by "Silence Listens" Poetry Contest

Sponsor: Craig Cornish

When silence listens to me in a serene moment,  I imagine strolling on a village-path Meandering to the unknown,  The verdant  grass I tread on, is velvety soft,  I remember my mother’s soothing touch,  The vermilion sky leans and whispers to me.  In that sublime unperturbed occasion,  I speak to my own heart throbbing and pining for the friend  Who deserted me many years ago!  Sometimes silence speaks to me  Among a roomful of unfamiliar visitors.  Like a wafting cloud I slowly disappear from their company,  No one notices the void my absence creates,  I feel myself in meditation with eyes closed On top of a mountain where an emerald waterfall Descends on the coral rocks with  a roaring sound,  The halcyon water mirrors the crimson sky!  I sense the unruffled silence listening  to my soul.

Ah this made me feel so much dear mala, youv written a very descriptive and soulful take on craigs prompt, i love the depth of your word weaving and how youv mentioned youR mother; emanates nostalgia and love that lingers even in silence, where echoes of the wind feels us! I love the way youv also written "I remember my mother’s soothing touch, The vermilion sky leans and whispers to me.I speak to my own heart throbbing and pining for the friend Who deserted me many years ago! " ah so emotive! Pleasure reading you today! Sending you light always . Best wishes poetic soul
