Poetry Is Liquid Silence Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In the absence of words
Poetry is pure Silence
Engulfing the Soul
Illuminating the Truth

In Silence, poetry is displayed
Under a shroud of mystery
Totally hidden
From the prying eyes of humanity

In a gesture of goodwill
The vault of Poetry is unlocked
Unveiled
And poured into the vase of life (heart)
This phenomenon is a deep secret
Revealed only to those who consume silence
The mystics, poets, dreamers and the seekers of Truth

Writing poetry is a gift
In poetry, existence is unveiled
The truth is revealed in a swollen cloud of words
And punctured to release a rainbow of meaning
In an amazing display of God's colorful existence
