24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
My name is Denise and I have been writing poetry for over 40 years now. I started writing as a child; it was a way of saying what I could not speak.
PRAYERS ON WATER
She wakes to meet the day
While slumber has a hold on others.
She rides the waves of silence
Soft, soft silence
Falls into her hands
Like catching snowflakes
In winter.
Rocking in the waves
The rhythm of the water
Is her own.
Listen
She will tell you
What there is to know.
She is the waves,
The waves are her,
And they are ONE.
One day she’ll dance on air
When ground
And sky
And water
Are all one.
The wind in her hair
Soft rain falling
She can feel
Life’s rhythm
Flowing in.
She danced on earth;
Now she dances on air.
Faces in the rocks
And in the leaves
Upon the ground.
In clouds they change
When passing by
Each look
A new one found.
I see the faces
Of all time
Held there
In nature’s hand.
The first one glows
Alone at night
A monad in the dark.
Then second comes
And third and fourth
And grows the light.
Like fireflies in the sky
They dance
Creating
The painting of the stars.
Hello fellow poets. My name is Denise and I have been writing poetry for over 40 years. I started writing when I was a young child as a way of “voicing” what I could not speak out loud. It has been a 4-decade healing journey for me and the journey continues; each day bringing new teachings and miracles.
I look forward to reading all of your posts 🙂
