those silent letters

siafu said May 20, 2:12 PM:

 

like those silent letters
within words
which inform meaning
yet have no aural substance,
do our illusions
obscure ‘reality'..
how we blind ourselves to these!
or is it that familiarity, that comfort
which so deadens our response?
why then do these silent beasts
so perturb me?
today poses more questions
than answers..
is it so within our innate
constitution to complicate
what is merely simplicity?
I tire of elaboration,
wish merely to get to
the crux of things..
I have no time for embroidery,
but like simple patterns
which speak unadorned truth;
delay is a crime, detour pointless..
sing me the sounds that speak
directly to my heart,
my soul, and I will mouth
praises for eternity!
even learning to love
the clumsy, burdensome,
myriad manifestations
which form the rich,

unexplored tapestry
of my waking dreams..

I'm waiting for your book of poetry so I can open it anywhere and be touched by your journey of wisdoms.  I find it interesting in my poetry and others that when speaking of the present, the now, I can't help but be give lyric to it that may very well distract from the moment yet hopefully bring the moment a richness I needed to tell.
does that make sense.

absolutely!

there is a paradox in giving expression to a thought/event/circumstance, one immediately loses the essence…
