Barely Waking

Contributed by Silent-No-More on Thursday, 28th April 2005 @ 01:39:57 AM in AEST
Topic: InspirationalPoems





In that moment
When awareness collided
With recollection -
The thunderous sound of dust
Burst into and through
The overwhelming, silent pause
That followed
And I swear I heard
A song dancing across
The breathless sky

My mind raced
Like wild lightning through
A forgotten time
When the stars were all blind
Locked as they were
Behind those reticent doors
Of nighttime
And I sensed awakening
As a dream was freed
In infinite sighs

I could believe
In the near impossibilities
Tangled up in truth
Escaping the pain of gravity
On invisible wings
Sprouted from the everything
Of before
And I knew then why
The world just seems to
Stop sometimes…

At sunrise

Snemmy, this was just breathtakingly beautiful. I love the simplicity of this poem.

Wouldn't life be grand if things where like this?

Anyways before I rant again id like to say that this poem just took my breath away.

Ma douce, cheri Snemmy.... A masterpiece of sheer perfection such as this deserves a thousand comments, a thousand stars, and millions of gold medals... Beautiful, inspirational, exquisite till the very last word... Your words convey a sense of freedom, a sense of knowing what might come, be it bad or good, and yet, there is hope... Your talent shines brilliantly through, cheri. Merci beaucoup for sharing this uplifting melody... *Hugs for Snemmy* I couldn't have written anything like this. You are truly a queen of poetry. All my love. Forever,

Your dear friend/fan,

Stephy. *still breathless*

Mind if I just sit here and read ? And re-read ?
In the silence that surrounds me ... my words seem suddenly ...

Unnecessary.

Beautiful Snemmy

Before I talk about the poem... Snemmy, that is without doubt the best author's note I have ever seen. I could get all inspired just on it alone.

Come to think of it, you might consider making it part of the poem, perhaps an opener in italics?

I know this feeling, and have seldom heard it really captured, as you have done. I love the way you have tied sunrise in with growth, epiphany, for it is highly symbolic. A beautiful job, my friend. I shall definitely return to this piece.

A beautiful poetic excursion into the spirt of

the imagination via the heart and soul . . .

I most probably said this 100 times in the past. But great poetry requires lateral thought. That ability to think outside of oneself, you have this in abundance, another
job well done.

At last, that magic moment that happens when the new day is hailed, is presented for our scrutiny. All the memories of all the mornings when time stands still for that solitary moment (allowing us to disengage from the mystical moods of sleep and re-enter the realness of the world around us) is laid before the reader. You have given life, and meaning, to that moment . . . and have accomplished your goal with such effortlessness (the mark of a talented poetess among a bevy of rhymers such as I). My congratulations on your superbly written masterpiece.

John

Snemmy...I just love your writing style. You are truly a talented woman. If you ever compose a book of your prose...I will buy several. A fabulous write!

*takes a deep breath*

I read this, then I had to read it again, without any sound in the background, and then I had to read it aloud..and wow, Snemmy...

I have never seen anything like this before, and I too believe it is your best.

I can't even think of a favourite part, I love it all.

I will come back to this often, I know I will. I have to.

Thankyou for sharing.

*hugs* Phil xxx

Awesomely beautiful!

It's really hard to add to what the others have already said but your poetry really blows me away.
