Silence

This is my contribution to Frank Jansen’s Dutch goes the Photo challenge.

I tried all week to capture a lovely picture of a reflection but kept coming back to this piece that I had published previously.

The photo and poem are a philosophical reflection on the subject of Silence. I hope you all enjoy.

Silence

Standing solitary within a stone crypt

Seasons pass as the water rises and retreats

Our hands cupped in prayer as we breath in the script

Lifetimes spent in humble obedience, discrete

Funny how the sound of silence reverberates

Seemingly against stone enclosures and puddles

How can I stare at you as grey and celebrate?

Two dimensionally, confined, a brain muddled

Through stillness, prayer and listening in silence

Penetrating walls, and permeating water

Two become multidimensional resonance

Breaking free of confinement, both our spirits soar

Movement in present time, camouflaged as if stone

Signposts as reminders for our journey homeward

In silence, in memoriam, your heart, my own

I look at your cupped hands and see flowing waters

  8. We came across him the first time unexpectedly, when my husband pushed open a door left ajar. Recently at the flower festival, we had to queue to go down in little groups. It was worth it; the water was drained away and a candle lit floral path led to him, a different experience. I wrote about it in my Wonderful Winchester blog.

        1. Oh how blessed you are. I’ve been several times but living in the States, I always try to make it a destination because I just fell in love with it. You live in a beautiful area. 💕

I live and write in Fallbrook, CA, North County San Diego. I have followed an esoteric path since my teenage years, first practicing Carlos Castaneda and the Teachings of Don Juan, and then studying Gnostic Mysticism. Truly I am an eclectic mystic and am of the opinion that one must follow their heart as all paths with Love lead to where you are. Passionate about exploring different themes and modes of writing; I write poetry, prose, short stories and just started working on a novel. It is Sci Fi, and blends Time, realms, worlds, and human, alien and galactic consciousness. I hope you explore the site and enjoy the various threads and streamings. Thank you, Jordy
