sub-harmonic

immersed in rich and bright illusion’s flow
here where we share a dizzy dreaming sea
within the now’s enfoldment’s gentle glow
before the birth of what’s about to be
as yesterday, today and, too, tomorrow
all breathe together forming temporal tides
and create, thus, a path for us to follow
the damaged centre’s closest friend abides

with metronome that beats both slow and fast
travails the master healer, time again
upon the wounds that live within the past
each tick a stitch to mend, divesting pain
regenerating throughout all the decades
while leaving not a scar upon the veil
until internal cyclic horror fades
and one is free, once more, to seek the grail
.

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

I love it Judy!

This works on multiple levels and nails every one. As a seascape description, atypical enough to not be cliche yet recognizable. The metronome analogy, as a recorder of passage of time and hence a recorder of healing. Not a missed note. I'm going to have to get your book. Great work!

A deep write of complex parts bringing together all parts to become one.
I was expecting something different as we use to deal with Sub Harmonics in the radios we used and the knowledge of how they worked with a Pure Crystal as their base yet there in the higher levels were sounds not heard and then in the sub zone sounds that though not heard you became aware of.
Well done young lady the theme was a change from love odes or whatever, Yours Ian.T
PS:- it sounds as if you are searching everywhere for an answer, that one day will ring with truth and purity, you will then cry a rainbow. x

I hope that beautiful peace becomes more than a part of you.
It is strange that when this happens it gives you the ability to deal with many things, and to write of more, Yours Ian.T

Dear Judyanne,

These are the lines that resonated with me:

upon the wounds that live within the past
each tick a stitch to mend, divesting pain
regenerating throughout all the decades
while leaving not a scar upon the veil

very well done
love, Cat
