    What Isn’t Heard

    there’s a vastness…
    you can’t even fathom…
    a universe you can’t imagine…
    within the realm of silence

    stories untold
    realities unexpected
    contemplative reflection
    pain unspoken

    everything locked inside a vacuum
    where the wall of it…
    can hold someone hostage
    a victim of their own thoughts

    you can’t…Read More

    • Yes, I can hear that silence. It’s the silence of a mother whose son has been cut down in a gang war or a war in a foreign country. Or the anguish of needing formula for our kids but no money to buy it. It’s the search for decent work, but not enough education to get it. Its the cries of children hiding under desk when the gunman came to school.…Read More

      • I didn’t have a choice on writing this. It’s been much on my mind of late. That deafening, heart-rending silence unheard from outside. Thank you for hearing it with me, Curt

    Carried Away

    neglected winds howled their fury
    blowing through a door ajar…
    startled…
    she dropped to cower…
    piercing chill burning
    skating across thundering veins

    sudden silence filled empty pockets
    scoured sterile by the pain
    tomorrow has no meaning
    the past has gone away

    frozen fists slowly opened 
    letting go…
    of…Read More

    Still Strolling…

    it can’t be far away…
    can it?
    that elusive brighter tomorrow?
    I’m not asking much…
    just a warm spring day
    maybe a chance of sprinkles
    and a walk amongst nature’s glory
    the cloying scent of honeysuckle gagging the senses
    lilacs swaying in the breeze
    birds in full choral exuberance
    vibrantly budding trees
    and a…Read More

      • I try not to let my mind out to wander on its own too often. Gets lost. But with these daily writes…sometimes I just gotta. Thank you, my friend 😊

    • Outside is where we belong. It rejuvenates our mind & soul. Great piece Willow.

      • Circumstances being other than they currently are, I’d be completely happy living in a tent. Being what they are though, give me a cabin on a mountain and I’m golden. Thank you 😊

    • I felt like I am there while reading your poem. Well done, Willow!
