! Let The Mind Be Still Poem by Bob Blackwell
! Let The Mind Be Still
Let Mind be Still
Hush quiet, the music begins, you tingle,
feel the chords pluck your heart.
The melody comes,
up and down goes the lilt,
and the rhythm of life flows through.
Your blood runs faster
your heart beats tremor, as
the song from a distance purrs,
gradually coming closer.
You feel your body relax,
you feel the beat of life
come pulsing through.
The music is close now,
Much closer than
it has ever been before.
Now you can see, feel, smell, hear
and even taste the joy
of this orchestra of life.
Ideas, creative pictures, answers,
come tumbling and jumbling through.
Now yes! life becomes real,
you feel a delight at all you see.
The rhythm slows, melody softens
and love comes through,
full of compassion, full of caring,
gentle happy feelings,
a beauty for the mind.
Now the dark clouds can come,
changes occur,
but the joy, and
serenity we feel will never change.
Just like a flower that slowly opens
through the night; to burst open
with different shades of pink, it
glows with a blush of morning light;
its soul no words do speak,
it shows a presence,
a truth, a reality,
proud in the garden of our world.
We grow with silence
through the winter of our
ignorance as we await the
spring of change, to grow
with favour in the warmth of
summer sun and rain. So
when Autumn comes we bear
the fruits of our silence; and
understanding comes to
to give us the strength
to face our winter storms.
Your final stanza is a poem in itself. In this time of ten second sound bites and images that flash so quickly they are scarcely discernible, it is imperative that we all STOP and find that place of stillness within, where nothing else matters. A poem worth reading more than once. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
What wisdom in this Bob. from the title to the last verse. and that final verse is telling a truth we all do well to heed. Spoken with the pen of practice like yours the message is loud and clear, and thank you.......best wishes from Fay.
in the stillness of the mind, every thing flowers, as we are calm. there is a kind of serenity about this poem, if only we could learn to silence our mind, and take life in our stride. a wonderful poem, full of wisdom.10 at times Bob, i really think poems are beyond ratings. this one is.... Mamta
It is in the stillness of the mind that true poetry begins. Wishing you strength for the journey and may the music never end. Kind regards, Sandra
I read the poem twice yet not satisfied again I read for the third time you have composed it very fine and taking away the eyes difficult ........ the versatile write and serenity are more worth speaking....... let the mind be still and speak a lot....
Like a journey through the streams of sounds, colours and emotions brought to us by Music. And through music comes deliverance and rebirth. These lines are just superb: 'Now the dark clouds can come, changes occur, but the joy, and serenity we feel will never change...' Thanks for sharing. A.
'The melody softens - the love comes through - - and we grow with silence ' all of which your lovely poem brings to our attention Bob - - it errupts through the lines like an invitation to a journey of discovery - and so it it......a 10 for sure for this - - Fay
Thats a story of hope, joy, tolerance and above all, faith. Scrutinize these lines: 'Now the dark clouds can come, changes occur, but the joy, and serenity we feel will never change'. How often i have been blinded by the dark cloud that i fail to see the good things that lay before my face.
lovely..the subject gives a melody to the poem..lovely write

The first part of the poem brings out in good verse the beauty of life’s orchestra and its blissful silent after-effect on enjoyed minds…the second part tells how one should grow inner strength and gather fruits, from the knowledge gained from such music of life… ‘It shows a presence’…this line speaks out all…yes, this poem shows its presence well in this hunter site…poem ten grade
