Time To GoThere was a silent whisper
and I have heard a name,
a sacred name. I put on my scarf
to cover my words,
my colourful scarf, and managed to walk
a couple of blocks
before I fainted. There was a secret
at that silent night
covered with blankets sleeping in bed,
dreaming so badly
of a red flower called 'passion'.
The clock strikes nine.
Time to go. IP: Logged |

So interesting.... mysterious.  It has a Beauty to it, Ayelet. Can you explain some of what you mean? "I put on my scarf
to cover my words..." IP: Logged |

Thank you Mirage. I think I refer to my own creative process, where I dress my words with the flesh of imagination, lest they shall remain "skin and bones"... and so I "cover" them, hide them in a way.IP: Logged |

Ayelet, I love the reference to the scarf as well, and also fainting (overwhelmed?)...
another one of those poems which captures the exquisite moment.

....Words from ~Shakespeare!  haha  *ahem* I'll emphasize? "...love’s heralds should be thoughts, which ten times faster glide than the sun’s beams (topic) The Clock Struck Nine (Hannah Smith rehearsing soliloquy in Romeo and Juliet) [1:17] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC7MjWIyJug
Shakespeare could have been listening to this kind of music in the backgrounds, while he composed words.
(music) Come Again Sweet Love (John Dowland {baroque composer}, re-imagined and perf by Sting and Edin Karamazov, lute) [3:59] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMDURI-mumI IP: Logged |

That's so cool, Sting sings 16th century songs! I love it that he sings it without trying to sound like a singer of that time, the way it is usually done. I once used to really like classical singing, but today I am more fond of modern singing, which sounds more natural...IP: Logged |

I thought you'd like that! If you've seen any of the other Sting songs, he has done some DEEP DEEP stuff!! There's this one other song, that is sooo outstanding. He managed to REALLY capsulate the ESSENCE and the wholeness of that medieval Dowland song message... (rather dark place, in that song-- but he 'grabs' the WHOLE experience INTO the 'now').
