Only in emptiness, the song.
And for that you can ask the humming wind
in the spaces between the power lines
for that you can ask the hollow
in the center of a cello. Like
the God-void resounding
in the center of my heart.
The road forks at every step
and you walk straight ahead
leaving a million branches filled
with singing emptiness.

Beautiful poem.
the road forks at every step - I had not thought in that way, but how true! And how beautifully put.
its so tru, how at every step of our lives we face this challenge...

Exactly - the road forks at every step, every one as important as the next! Beautifully said. Thank YOU!
I love your poem and your words say so much in such a little space good job.
Really beautiful words.. the road does fork at every step
At the Crossroad
Right on! I hadn't thought about the 'each step' concept - but for sure, it's true.
this one was really well done. nice work.
While I was laughing at Redness's unique turn, I was moved by this one, by the shear beauty. Rats, I forgot which 'sheer to use!
Loved the concept of "humming wind" instantly! I can hear the wires singing in your words!
A beautiful write!
Smiles and Light

Very powerful... excellent! ;)

This one left me feeling a bit sad, but it sure was beautiful. Thank you.

Lovely word choices; I like it!
I love the connections you make:
Cello strings - Power lines
The humming of the wind - humming of power through the lines; humming of cello strings...
I think that first stanza has something really strong in there. Maybe push it further? I don't know.. Its powerful though.
Nice work!
