Soundings by Susan Friesen

A soft Spirit, a still voice, sounds
As reality in a whorled seashell rebounds.
To hear the whisper takes a sensate nature,
One who can journey in joy, mature--
Passing understanding, a sense of peace,
Massing, this seaside trance, a new lease
On life, a celestial creation,
Like a nautilus, listening to the reverberation.
Above, the stars, swirling in space,
Shine on shore, an endless place--
A trace of silent steps upon the deep;
And one lies quiet, watchful, even in sleep.

One To Read Again
Susan, I have to admit I have never been a fan of rhyme, but your rhyme it so well thought out, and so well put together. Your poem has such, delicacy, such sensitivity and beauty, it is definitely one to read again and again. Well done!
