My last poem for the year as a busy time at work and home is coming up. I will be back sometime next year :) I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2018. It is going to be a good one. I feel it.
Connecting in silence
They set in a safe distance on a bench in the park,
the morning sun crawling along the horizon eager to
to find them in its sight. Tentative they started talking
than fired a fountain of words onto each other, which
like drops bounced off the concrete next to them.
the morning sun crawling along the horizon eager to
to find them in its sight. Tentative they started talking
than fired a fountain of words onto each other, which
like drops bounced off the concrete next to them.
A whirling wind, caused a gap between their words. They
stayed in this soft place of silence, eyes meeting eyes,
hand meeting hand. Shedding the feathers of the ego,
feelings showed and showered them with pulsing passion,
connecting them to the core, in a world beyond words.

Hi Marja = silence is golden sometimes ... and I love your way of connecting here - congratulations - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteNice done!
ReplyDeleteConnecting with stranger in a public place is hard.
When two people can sit in silence comfortably, a certain magic bubbles over and speaks volumes. :)
ReplyDeleteSilence can be a great connector!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2018 and Merry Christmas to you as well! When people can sit together in silence, that is a remarkable thing
ReplyDeleteAH! The images entrance. I could show it on stage ... so very fine!
ReplyDeleteSome of the deepest connections are made without words......have a wonderful holiday season, Marja.
ReplyDeleteShedding the feathers of ego. So much is possible when we can do that.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much more to communication than mere words. Words are good
though, needed. The word drops splattering on the sidewalk was a really
creative touch. Me likes.
Hope the business of the end of the year does not drown you.
sitting in silence -- comfortable silence-- can be so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is much to be said(?) for the comfort and bliss of quietude. Perhaps holding hands and just saying nothing is a lost art?
ReplyDeleteSilence connects to the core, indeed. Words are not always needed. Beautifully expressed.
ReplyDeleteThis is highly romantic in its progression. Luv it
ReplyDeleteHappy Returns of The Holiday Season to you Marja. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR. BLESSINGS
Much💖love
I remember you taking us to that place. It was a fun time. Have a nice break and a Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteChristmas is almost here again.Enjoy the holiday season and see you next year.My family are the only people I have known who just liked being together...not talking just being in each others presence.I miss them.
ReplyDeleteLoved this and the image!! Have a wonderful holiday, will miss you, but forward to your return.
ReplyDeleteWhen no words are needed, oh the comfort of belonging.

Wow, this a lovely romantic take on the theme, Beautiful Marja!
ReplyDeleteI could see them sitting there, lovely
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork with a wonderful poem. Words are not necessary when you feel comfortable and good together.
ReplyDeleteFijne Kerstdagen en tot volgend jaar!
A fine peek into the closing distance between two hearts and the silence finally shared there.
ReplyDeleteI love both the image and words - wonderfully done
ReplyDelete'a fountain of words' - nice.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely holiday Marja and I look forward to seeing more next year. This is a nicely done piece. Hope you and your family are well. I hope for you all the best in the new year.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your loved ones the very Merriest of Christmas Joy and every happiness in 2018.
ReplyDeleteI see couples sitting quietly enjoying their silence. Some say, " Look those have nothing left to say!". I think, " Their silence is golden end speaks volumes."
Thank you for your poetry. Looking forward to your return.
Such a delightful display of something precious, essential, wordless.
ReplyDeleteI hope you break your silence soon, and sing again
