Sung boldly echoed across of our world.

 

 

 

The echoes of my soul sprung forth in a twilight's tender dream.

My flesh, a mist drifting higher upon the rungs of Jacob's Ladder.

Drawn, compelled to catch a glimpse of the bold power in our heavens.

My fingertips extend to touch the hem of a universal strength.

 

My soul seeks to seize the essence of grace,

recapture newborn hope.

Return to earth, renewed, assured that despite wars, hunger and

thirst, the suffering are heard.

 

It was the wheat of earth that  first began to sing.

Upon the breeze, the gleaming hum of each seed harmonizing and blending.

The winds of earth orchestrating a tender melody.

Bass sounds of the tree's in the forest, the tide's swept upon the beach.

 

Tears filled my eyes with pulsing sounds of earth's beauty.

A waterfall's release, each strand of the water gently healing me.

Vast stars revealing the power of  our energies, the lack of lifeless presence

without us to feed the soil fertility and bring forth birth to fill their silent worlds.

 

I awoke renewed, refreshed, assured, my pockets filled with grace.

No longer believing the deafening silence as I have heard our sonnets sung.

I beckon you to hear the beauty and blended power in each struggle that we face.

A bold confession of universal strength fragiley uniting us together.

 

Sung boldly,

echoed across our world.

    This piece is powerfully written with strong conviction and solace.

    This:"The echoes of my soul sprung forth in a twilight's tender dream." Your opening line is the gist of the contest specs and builds in forward momentum throughout your poem.

    There is such rejoicing by the time your poem finishes and the reader (me) feels refreshed, enlightened, and hopeful. Wonderful way to evoke emotion.

    Thank you for a splendid entry. Best of luck in the contest. ~Pamela

    Beautifully written and gorgeous imagery. I have often felt the same way... although the beauty and power you speak of has never been an end in itself but has led me further, has led me to God. Still, the piece shows off your obvious talent :-) My favorite line is, "No longer believing the deafening silence as I have heard our sonnets sung".
