Listening ~

to Devi ~

in the Art 

of listening 

my heart lifted

to the surreal blossom 

of a dream in aqua~marine

this precious sea of subtle light ~here

I silence my thoughts  

to feel 

the purity 

the halo of a precious moment 

to open

and gently surround me in 

the language of the soul ~ meaning 

I felt her whisper 

in the shadow of her eyes 

the essence of ~ this

spilling from her lips 

the poetry within 

the everything with ~ in 

you and I

This is clever in it's simplicity, yet the imagry draws me in rather deeply. The silencing of thinking to simply embrace the beauty of the moment. Incredibly beautiful and I love your words, "a dream in aqua-marine"--absolutley breathtakingly lovely!

This is such a peaceful, melodious, and soul-stilling poem. We truly do not take the time to just listen and be and feel the silence. This poem is a beautiful reminder to do just that. Great job!
