As I Walk On..

  Every sound fades to silence...

  life fading into voiceless stupor..

  all that remains are the memories of a day spent...

  and the silence that resonates within..

  the world seems at peace as the darkness takes over..

 But that can't put to rest the voice in my head

 that continues to ponder...

 where I was,am and would be..

 none but the one who made it all knows..

 my purpose i can't discern..

                         

 As I wander along the untreaded roads..

 the world changes with the ticking seconds..

 colors merging into the blankness of canvas..

 transience taking over the fixed present..

 and as I move on..

 things change as if they never were...

 colorful hues bringing into life a new creation..

 as I walk on..

Absolutely love the power and the tenderness of this write Arabdha. The imagery was colorful and crystal clear. Change is not always easy, in fact may times it is excruciatingly difficult...but so very often, change is necessary for the completeness of our souls and our being. I must admit I read this a few times for no other reason then it felt and sounded good flowing from my mouth. I love when poetry makes me feel that way. Very heartfelt and honest. Beautifully written.
thanks for sharing Arabdha

Life can bring so many changes and experiences. With each change and experience we discover our gifts and our potentials. Is this kind of thing that makes us unique individuals to share such beauty as the hands that wrote this master piece. :)

We have to walk on, don't we? As harsh as it is at times, beautifully voiced love xx

Arabdha,

Hello words...

The evaporating loneliness of a darkend world... how beautiful the thought.

I ponder, is this possible? As I convince myself that anything is... if our creator has it in the plan, it is.

I adore the verses here, the powerful word images that play through... the hope at the end that all is well and will soon be.

The color of red sets me off just a hair, however... This is a wonderfully written piece - you shouldve placed first.

It would be a compliment to me if you would place this in the Enlightenment contest of the group Poetic Infusion Society. I believe the world needs to hear these things.

Have a great day,

Legacy

A poem that resonates universally for many people. The life unconsidered is not worth living, said Socrates. Poets do more of that than most.
Good poem, well-written,appropriate voice that was well-maintained.

Stunning effort In 20 min !, all things softly changing over time,blending, merging back into the universe from which a new masterpiece of creation arises...such a subtle flow in this poem.

[Seshat Nidaba]

I really this ... effect, it's really alike to the process of reading a poem...

the "..." part that is :). Well written!

[Sel Whiteley]

Wow, the fact you wrote this so quickly shows how astounding good you are. The use of the partial-refrain of images of progression is masterful. The philosophy within this is stunning. You capture the day expertly in these words.

The still of the night allows our thoughts to sound louder in our heads... your poem is filled with chaos and peace.

[SM Davis]

Beautiful piece! The last stanza resonated with me ... the imagery is perfect!
