dawn
cold winter song
bloomless jasmine
holds spring's promise
wind chimes twitter of birds
and morning stars
awakening
twin hearts resonate
sun's echoes
myra
Author notes
Mystical poetry does NOT use the word "mystical" ... It is as if words become transparent, and only the recognition of divine meaningfulness remains. Words cannot be the nonword, but they are only vehicles that may free the reader paradoxically of the cerebral which may confuse.
The mystical poet works on divine and effortless expansion of awareness, bringing the silent Poem to the forth. It is the wordless being said in such a way that words almost disappear ... Not the words, but their everlasting essence echoes inside the soul.
The greatness of the true mystic lies in the simplicity or humbleness in allowing complexities to flow through as birds of divine messages. Mystic poetry is so simple, it is almost insignificant or not noteworthy ... Divine Breath breathing an esthetic thought, a pure, yet sublime flame of ecstasy in the soul.
Mystical poetry, as that of Rumi, for instance, reaches beyond: even beyond spiritual awareness, into the sublime and the intuitive. With such an unforced flow, as by natural diffusion, it names the Unnamed, it touches the Untouchable, it voices the Inaudible. it is the unspoken yearning to transcend mortality, NOT discarding mortality, but seeing the Immortal even in the dying eyes of decay ... We ARE in the Holy Core of the Divine ... forever! Moving within HIM not Movable.
To grasp the journey of the IMMOBILE ... that is mystical.

"sun's echoes"
I had a problem with this line, for some reason. Though, I believe the line above is speaking about something totally different, it does seem with "sun's echoes" that "sun's" would be plural, and not singular. If it is "singular" I feel that "echoes" (in such regard) would work better as "echo". It gives the same image because that's what an "echo" is: continuous till it fades.
Just a little quirk. A great piece, nonetheless.

I can't think of anyone better suited and skilled to write about mystical poetry and to show us how to write it than you, Myra. This is such a beautiful poem and I could feel the beauty of winter here. Wonderfully simplistic, yet never simple...just pure and yes, divine too.
In your own words "it voices the Inaudible". And your author's comments offer the reader the opportunity to grasp something of this divinity too. Beautiful poetry.

If anyone discerns the divine it's you. I can only scratch the surface but you drill to its' very core. Apparently the hostess of the contest agreed. Congratulations on the gold.
Sincerely,

By reading your author's notes, it feels that mystical poetry is almost an underlying mechanism for communication to others who have the awareness to comprehend it. Not all sense its abilities that read it. They read and are touched, some feel such an emotion that they read it again and again not realizing why they feel such a connection. It is the unspoken language of reaching hearts that have never been touched in such a way. It is the missing link of their soul. WELL, this is my take on your submission.
I enjoyed your poem very much and its lasting affect.

a very rich entry - rich in meaning and rich in essence ... your definition about mystical poetry satisfies the curious mind and guides directly to the place where its experience can be made ...
mystical poetry pushes some invisible buttons in me, I can never explain what it is that touched me so, but it just works in unseen realms ...
thank you so much for such an enlightening entry,
maa
