New poem

New poem

Hi @TAB @Bunniekins @Former-Member @Appleblossom @Judi9877 @Shaz51 @Clawde and all forumites


This one has been a long time coming! I hope it connects with some of you

Stillness

There is a stillness here
Contemplating the heartbeat
Of god

A subatomic metronome
Marking time eternally
A footprint in our consciousness
Evidence of the possible

Safe in nature's cathedral
Whispers subdue the shouts
Emanating from the chaos
Of our unforgiving paradise

The watermark on each soul
Security against deception
Miracle or accident?
Intention over chance?

Off the beaten track I go
My mind guided by confusion
Coherence a mere memory
Faded and with edges curled


There is a frenzy here
Blissfully ignoring
The end

Hey @Meowmy

I'm ok thanks - it's just a poem, really 🙂
(Certainly the words come from various places and moods etc...but this end product is just a point in time in the end).

But thanks for your concern. I hope you're well too

Re: New poem

Thanks @Bunniekins !

Not sure I can 'explain' it...it all started with a visit to the Baha'i Temple- such stillness there- and just evolved from there. A lot of my writing is basically having fun with words and images...the 'coherence' is not always paramount...

@Bunniekins

Further to that, my work generally means whatever it means to each reader 🙂

I chuck the words out there, I can't control how they're received

Re: New poem

Hello @StuF

I found your poem to be very profound..

The true meaning is yours and how the words reach others is what poetry is about..

Keep on writing ..

I would love to read more of your work..

Hello all fellow readers @Bunniekins @TAB @Meowmy

Anyone else a budding poet?
