Alive, not kicking

daniel dawes

The tides in,
A sun setting,
On warm sand,
With birds nesting.

No more confusion,
Just a simple heart,
For which is seen,
A work of art.

Not seen by a mind,
Only felt by the one,
Stillness in a moment,
Silenced from the sun.

The sky breaths,
With a whispering wind,
As the sun sets,
On an ocean filled with stars.

Purity in the moment,
Stillness of oneself,
A very telling story,
Of a lover and itself.

  • lysistrata

    1st verse: Try change "singing" within resting/nesting (?!)
    4th verse:Try doing the same within
    "stars"?!

    Another Poem about Stillness.
    Are you meditating?

    • daniel dawes

      Hi, thanks for the comment. I agree and have chosen nesting as its more in keeping with a sun setting. Not sure about the 4th verse......Ha, life's a meditation.

      Daniel,
      Sorry about the typos: smartphone While driving...
      If I may, I would suggest to change the whole 4th verse,because you have 2 lines starting with " With" .

      So, I suggest :

      "The sky breaths,
      With a whispering wind,
      On an ocean filled with memories/dreams,
      And a sun that swims"

      It's your call!🌞

      • daniel dawes

        I have changed it but only slightly to get rid of the "with" other than that I felt a total change would change the flow. Thanks for your advice. Out of interest how old are you? I know it's bad manners to ask but.......
