Daily poetry: Do You Feel It Too? (with photo)

Some poems write themselves. The more you try to explain why they came to you, the more they will elude you.

The piece below started with the question in the title. It took on a life of its own as soon as I was done with the first verse. So, it was useless to resist its pull. I let my mind wander and dictate its course.

To this day, the poem feels like a meeting with my inner ME...

DO YOU FEEL IT TOO?

I heard it in the whispering wind,
While caressing the potency of the moon
And speaking in tongues of fire
To the excellence of tides.

I heard it in the intangible frailty of time,
While singing the immutable song of beauty
And recreating the poetry of humankind
From the comfort of my self-confidence.

And now I feel it rushing through my veins,
Pouring its essence into my spirit,
Blessing my heart with new beats.
Do you feel it too?

Do you feel this new Word,
This new shaft of light
Gushing like bloodlines
Across the Milky Way of your vision?

Close your eyes,
And dive into the pond of oblivion,
Where every pearl of expression
Dances in the sunset of deep meanings.

Silence will now be your muse,
Inviting you to heed the message
Of the One who created you in His image.

I heard it in the whispering wind,
While caressing the potency of the moon
And speaking in tongues of fire
To the excellence of tides.

Do you hear it too?
