By this sheet of blue green glass
where geese watch with hawk like eyes of my presence near their young,
I take in the morning sunshine sparkle on their watered backs
There's a crow or three in the sky..
a fading chorus of wisdom as they follow their chosen path
Still the tales of where they have been,
remain close to my ears..
accompanying the laughter of the kookaburra
Is he sitting there perched,laughing at me
for maybe he has heard my echoing voice..
sounding out and coming back untouched by others ears
So this leads to my silence
a place and state of mind,body and soul
where I will sound out by voice for the human no more
Only words written will come from me.Only will ~the great spirit~ hear the dance of my heart....but never will I sing loud the song of unwanted words for a heart that beats with an ignorant drum
Here in silence..
I watch with hawk like eyes,scanning the horizon...
guarding my silence

I think you would be best suited living on a mountain top in a teepee with no one around but nature. It's your calling to write of such things. This is sad yet soothing my friend. Beautiful as always

This was mystical, spriritual and dreamy. I could see the crows and the hawk. My mind went to a wondrous place while reading this poem.

The imagery is vivid and intriguing. I love the way it begins with the scene and leads into the thoughts. This is lovely.

You are one talented lady and I am in awe of you

Your writing is Magnificent and only such beauty could shine from within

I loved these words
