Julie Silvester Poem
On a perfectly proportioned majestic throne
resides the one who knows
of time and space, of love and fear - building blocks from which we grow
From ancient starlit forests through to daily sunny norms
the power arrives in textured waves
to charge our dust filled forms
And inside the ash burnt crystals, of a timeless, white charcoal sun
dark energy weaves between the light
- the elements of all, and one
And as we search for a shard of truth in an ocean, big as a planet
how come we always look outward from
our triangle of living granite
This pyramid shape is vastly more, important than previously thought
its pinnacle contains a watching eye
in all directions, free or bought
And its gravity, the pull of which, keeps us firmly grounded
if it didn’t exist, then a different life
is certain to be founded
It lives atop a majestic throne, but cannot be seen by the many
who search with unconditioned eyes
that think that they are ready
But who are we, to think we are, less important than we know
it won’t be long, until such truths
are uncovered as we grow
So maybe one day, we can become, even more than what we think
until that time arrives, we’ll still search
for a non-existent missing link
All and one

Julie Silvester Poem
From hearts and flowers
the gaps between thoughts
moments within hours
gifts given and bought
dew drops on lotus leaves
skeletons of fish
smiles of old wise men
a reality from a wish
deep ocean currents
volcanic lava and ash
letters from the postman
a sudden increase in cash
a photographic image
words jumbled on a page
the formation of clouds
a bird outside a cage
sweet laughter of a kiddie
sad cries from those who’ve lost
hard lessons learned
and the price that it cost
spectacular sunsets
to snowmen who melt
rain dripping from gutters
life’s cards you’ve been dealt

Julie Silvester Poem
You’ll always remember
that first time
his hand
brushed against yours
and your eyes locked
in that instant
A chemical reaction
set off a rollercoaster
in your stomach
it ran out of control
could not be stopped
never to end
Extra-ordinary excitement
stolen glances
across the distance
enough to make you stutter
as you trip
over your thoughts
Eyes holding
passion and desire
lips promising
soft melting delights
hands clasped
around fingers of expression
Cheeks colouring
in the fragmented light
of your shyness
while sweet perfume
wafts tantalisingly
in the sultry air of love
