A WordCandy Poem
Give me silence,
water hope.
It is time to ravel rays
from ravished dreams.
Steady yourself and see
the length of life
is decreed by nature,
its depth by grace.
To me every hour
of the light and dark
is a miracle
softening into butter.
A thing like that can make
light dance around the edge.
Silence will fall like
dews on white silence
whispered into the hollow,
the constant, priceless reminder
that I have enough.
Silenced and stilled,
Sandy
Welcome to Still Saturday where we pause after a busy week, move in quiet pilgrimage, maybe linger a while in some still place, and soak in the beauty of images and words. We’d love for you to join us. Get the details on the left, grab your favorite button, and link up below. We all love to hear if something especially speaks to your heart, but please don’t feel pressured to comment. Simply take some time to gaze long and drink deep.
Note: If you click on any of the photos, it will take you straight to the wordcandy.me app. There you can register and then create your own “candy” to share with others via email, Facebook, Twitter, or your own blog. Or you can just keep them for yourself. Just browse the categories, find a quote you like, and then “wrap” it by choosing a photo. There’s also a link to ones that are ready made.
Brilliant idea
stunning execution
And fun, too. 🙂
Thanks, Karin.
Wow. That’s really something, Sandy. A remarkable string of lines, images you’ve woven.
It was kind of a desperate whim, Lyla. I’ve been struggling with words this week, and I hadn’t come up with a post to illustrate. Then I remembered all the different ways we’ve created poems… It was fun. 🙂
Well done …
Thanks, Susan.
Nicely done, Sandy. I’m going to read that again and soak it all in. Beautiful, my friend.
It’s a fun app to play with, Kris. Like I told Lyla above, I’ve been struggling with writing this week. It was a fun way to shake things up–and any of those quotes could stimulate some words of our own.
Love this!
Hi Sandy
You stole my heart with “the dew on white silence”. For some reason the purity of the words and the picture seem so holy! Have a blessed, still weekend, dear one.
Much love
Mia
Hi Mia. Aren’t they wonderful? If you click on any of the photos, it will take you straight to the WordCandy app where you can register and create your own “candy” from various categories–pairing a photo with a quote.” Then you can share them with others. There’s also a link to ones that are ready-made.
Lovely and very creative, Sandy. xox
Shooting some love right back at you, dear friend.
Ahhhhhh.
That’s good, right? 😉
I have enough. Isn’t that a part of every stillness? It feels good just to say it.
I have enough.
Yes.
Exactly! Yes!
Sandy, this is amazing! Lyla and Laura and Karen and Neruda and Uncle Walt and more–together at last!
Oh, Sandy. This is what you create when you’re struggling with words? You are a genius.
And that last bit? “the constant, priceless reminder / that I have enough”? That’s going to follow me through this day.
Much love to you.
This is amazing Sandy. You have a gift for putting words together sweet friend.
Have a blessed weekend.
