Silence Speaks




windswept undulations
shaping formed
features steps
seemingly teetering
espied in orange crested waves.
Crimping harsh realities
but life affirmed
unravelling scenes of
vastness viewed
space and room to be blown,
to dance,
enraptured in seclusion,
lightness of touch
barely marbling sandied grains,
rapidly glimpsing shadows,
the unseen listener,
the watcher,
to what appears barren
sees life,
as not so much teems but
in changes of glorious light
shifts in moving sands,
gestures unity,
persisting,
giving a voice to the unnoticed,
averting gazed shrouded in mystique
but within his eyes he silently speaks.

  2. "Crimping harsh realities
    but life affirmed"

    That's such an excellent transitional part within a great composite of sound, imagery, and feeling. As an aside, Lib, I was tempted to writing about that 2nd pic b/c it's just so cool but it reminds me a bit of one of the vehicles from Empire Strikes back. lol Anyway, wonderful work.
    "barely marbling sandied grains,
    rapidly glimpsing shadows,"
    Very nice!
