Poem: «To Ride the Silence»

(C.2021, All Rights Reserved, «Purples» acrylic on canvas by Francisco Bravo Cabrera)

To ride the silence of your thoughts in my ship of purple,

I spin the earth, motivate the winds, inflate the sails,

entice the oceans to make currents fast and wide

because we alone in silent dreams do abide…

To climb upon your purple thoughts of thunder and creation,

I flatten truth, unwind the clocks, connect the lights that brighten your dark street,

and empty out the bar so we alone within can drink…

C.2021, Francisco Bravo Cabrera, 25 NOV 2021, Valencia, Spain

    A delightful diversion in words and how very lovely and quite far afield from your normal in the graphic. Excellent. Thank you, FCB.

        You are an amazing poet Francisco. I read your poem on faith and was touched so deeply. I started a comment and was interrupted and want to read it to Scott. Have a lovely, peaceful and blessed day you two. ❤️
