Details'SILENCE IS THE STAR KISSING A FLOWER"
Please write a poem in any form, including in the body of your writing the above phrase. It is taken from the poem Silence II by -Elaine Maria Upton. SILENCE ll Silence is not a lack of words. Silence is not a lack of music. Silence is not a lack of curses. Silence is not a lack of screams. Silence is not a lack of colors or voices or bodies or whistling wind. Silence is not a lack of anything. Silence is resting, nestling in every leaf of every tree, in every root and branch. Silence is the flower sprouting upon the branch. Silence is the mother singing to her newborn babe. Silence is the mother crying for her stillborn babe. Silence is the life of all these babes, whose breath is a breath of God. Silence is seeing and singing praises. Silence is the roar of ocean waves. Silence is the sandpiper dancing on the shore. Silence is the vastness of a whale. Silence is a blade of grass. Silence is sound And silence is silence. Silence is love, even the love that hides in hate. Silence is the pompous queen and the harlot and the pimp hugging his purse on a crowded street. Silence is the healer dreaming the plant, the drummer drumming the dream. It is the lover's exhausted fall into sleep. It is the call of morning birds. Silence is God's beat tapping all hearts. SILENCE IS THE STAR KISSING A FLOWER. Silence is a word, a hope, a candle lighting the window of home. Silence is everything --the renewing sleep of Earth, the purifying dream of Water, the purifying rage of Fire, the soaring and spiraling flight of Air. It is all things dissolved into no-thing--Silence is with you always.....the Presence of I AM -Elaine Maria Upton Happy writing poets!
