Silver

by Glenn Currier

It was yesterday
in the space between a period
and the next sentence
of our day's chronicles.

Just as surely as our cat
will rub her grayness against my ankles
when I sit in her room

its simplicity loosened
the hasp of the past.
It had the sound of silver
the scent of swiftness
the feathered flutter of dove.

It was a whisper from the Depths--
"What can you create?"

Author's Note: Worried about my ability to do a project that might herald a somewhat new role at my job, I was journaling yesterday morning. I reviewed my values. Creativity was first on the list. The simplicity of that recognition resonated with a sense of liberation later in the day.

Your relationship with that quality is shown herer in it full fruitage. Once again, that first stanza...awsome...by nature you truly know how to make a first impression:o)

Gentleness sends that clarion call into the depths of consciousness, and latent pangs of silver, arc the cerebral to impart that age old challenge sans retort, who am I? Me likes! Pe4ce...

Glad to see that the hasp was loosened and that you heard that whisper and acted upon it so eloquently with this.

It was a whisper from the Depths-- "What can you create?" In other words I AM when I AM. This PRESENCE alone can whisper its presence. Now the created will create the creator. This poem is the living example since it reflects the very PRESENCE of the creator of this piece so nicely created. haha
