For Unseeking Seeker's Divine Magnetism poetry contest.

This is only the second sestina I have written, the last one was almost ten years ago!

This one has a syllable count of 11 per line, although that is not a requirement.

 

I feel it in the hush of twilight's gentle glow, where spiritual shadows dance in whispers. An intangible force, unseen yet sincere. A magnetism from realms where ego dies. A profound vision influencing my mind. A divine devotion connecting my heart. I search for your sacred bond to heal my heart. To touch my soul in your ethereal glow. To enlighten the dark chambers of my mind, I seek you in distant stars, tired from whispers. Their silent light reminds me hope never dies, as the moon guides me upon a path sincere. At dawn your persona spreads in views sincere. Blessings from sweet perfume flowers ease my heart. In the birth of a new bloom, angst from pain dies, as mercy spreads in a vibrant pastel glow. Your presence lingers in soft and wise whispers. A source of compassion soothing a tired mind. Your zen grace pull me close, transforming my mind. Read your stories in scriptures with text, sincere. Heard about your legend from scholar's whispers. I crave for you to complete this boundless heart, so I can ascend to dance in stardust glow. Embraced by love, where inner growth never dies. Oh, eternal beloved, the darkness dies, as you mentor like a lantern in my mind. In black skies, I feel your cosmic wholeness glow. Lead me through life's winding maze to be sincere. My spirit in alignment with soul and heart, has a true higher purpose through your whispers. May I, forever blossom through your whispers, upon a quest where fulfilment never dies. For the path you've laid is the bridge to my heart. Selfless like the sun you bring warmth to my mind, as your rays transcend in messages, sincere. I surrender to your pure mystical glow. I'm a verse written from your poetic mind. A flutist playing a flute in tunes, sincere. A mouthpiece resembling your magnetic glow.

SO, you make a great case for the existence of something beyond ourselves that we may (if we are skilled) tap into. Indeed our place in the universe is a puzzle with an infinite number of pieces. I have the music playing, and it seems very appropriate for meditation.

"Your presence lingers in soft and wise whispers. A source of compassion soothing a tired mind." Very spiritual, beautiful. "I crave for you to complete this boundless heart, so I can ascend to dance in stardust glow. Embraced by love, where inner growth never dies." Love is everything to the soul. "Oh, eternal beloved, the darkness dies, as you mentor like a lantern in my mind. In black skies, I feel your cosmic wholeness glow." Divine. "I'm a verse written from your poetic mind. A flutist playing a flute in tunes, sincere. A mouthpiece resembling your magnetic glow." Perfect! Great writing my friend.

outstanding, Silent One...impressive that you wrote something lengthy with the same syllable count; you must be a dedicated and disciplined soul. I especially liked the last three lines. Best wishes with the contest, Sara

A tremendous undertaking to write such a long poem with syllable count, SO--I hear the divine tone throughout. A true verse of enlightenment. --Oh, eternal beloved, the darkness dies, as you mentor like a lantern in my mind. In black skies, I feel your cosmic wholeness glow---I found the essence in these lines.

Silent One, Your poem centers on your profound faith and commitment to a god or higher force. You did an excellent job of describing the inner turmoil you felt as you sought answers to questions about the nature of reality, the significance of spiritual community, and the transforming power of love and faith. There is a wealth of meaning and imagery in this poem. Divine devotion, "sacred bond," "ethereal glow," "twilight's gentle glow," and spiritual shadows all conjure up images of majesty and awe. you've enriched this beautiful poetry experience with your use of personification ("where spiritual shadows dance in whispers"), metaphor ("mentor like a lantern in my mind"), and simile ("Selfless like the sun you bring warmth to my mind").

I felt the cosmic wholeness of divinity flowing sacred frequency! Brilliant sestina! Youv made this look so easy to do, as i know sestinas can be tricky, with repetitive refrains throughout. But somehow your lines flow seamlessly! I love so many lines in this especially how the divine magnetism can be evident in every line! “ Heard about your legend from scholar's whispers. I crave for you to complete this boundless heart, so I can ascend to dance in stardust glow.” Wow reminds me of rumi!” I'm a verse written from your poetic mind. A flutist playing a flute in tunes, sincere. A mouthpiece resembling your magnetic glow.” What an ending! Shows your humble gratitude and devotion for the highest! Best wishes for the contest!
