Blissful Silence

  My heart is filled with poems

Whenever I revisit my childhood

Every time my life is higher

When a gleam of light reflects the happiness of my heart

When my mind is thick with fear

When hidden feeling stretches its hands toward freedom

A poem thrills through me

I commit my thoughts to the heart of poetry with transparency

Each poem takes my hand in hers

Fills my heart with nothing but love

As the words wander deep within my mind

I become one with each word dancing on the earth of my heart

Then, amidst a blissful silence

My soul singing

The fragments of unspoken feelings swirl around me

Then a poem

A free poem

Strives against my wishes
