Interruptions

Sitting, listening to voices;
harsh, calm, strange-
and silent.

Waiting for something
to happen-
For perhaps a miracle...

When this turbulent sea
of wasted breath
shall sink into peace.

Stillness will pervade...

But before that
there'll be that ominous,
almost disconcerting calm...

Gave me shivers. I read this whilst looking out at a blood red moon, hanging low in the sky. Great.

It was while that i waited
for mircale to happen
but they happen when you try to make things happen I guess

Thank you for visiting my blog...
So troubled thoughts turn then to calm reflexion/ And in a pool it gathers for all to come and see themselves...

Very nice, powerful poem. Enjoyed it much and will be back for more!

Midnight Musings

I sit and flip some Pages in vain— Outside, some rabid Dogs bark in the rain. Alone I sit and make sense of printed, bland nonsense. The room is numb— I hear nothing Except fear’s thumps: The clock’s ticking. An errant breeze Whips the glass panes Raw as I grease My pens and pains… My bones creak: An evanescent fear Awakes and speaks… Light is near— The last line is clear! Wish you all a very happy and prosperous 2006! H A P P Y N E W Y E A R !!
