I really liked the "edge of silence" because it hints that it is almost perceptible even if not heard directly. I guess "he" did some soul searching in nature and encountered Truth. Best wishes in the contest!

I reeeeeeeally, really like this one. It's deep and insightful, but it's offered up in such a quiet, subtle tone that it feels like my Little Voice, whispering inside of me. Honestly, Melissa, you never cease to amaze me with your talent. Fantastic write!! xo

Comment from poetwatch
Melissa, what you wrote is very true. To discover the truth one has to have silence so the mind can wander and ponder what life is all about, "deep truths that must be felt, not heard." This is a good entry for the 20 Syllable Poem Contest. Thank you for sharing such a profound poem. it makes the reader think.

Comment from Daylily
One of the things I like about this 20 Syllable contest entry is that it gives a glimpse into what can deeply motivate the heart of someone. I feel a sincere connection to the message because of those time when I was walking through a thick and natural woods. The general silence there allows the sporadic animal twitterings, snortings, and buzzings to be intensified, noticed and appreciated. This is a lovely posting.

Good morning, Melissa!
Your exceptionally well-crafted 20 syllable poem deeply resonates with me for it reminds me of the journey my son has taken - moving to Colorado and his experiences among the mountains and rivers of his second home...
Thank you for sharing - both message and form.
Always,

Thank you so much, Diane. As you know, the short ones can be a real challenge, but with this one, I wrote it and then it sprang in my mind to count syllables ~ I realized it could be entered in the 20 syllable contest ~ yahoo... an easy ... this time. LOL. So appreciate your comments and review, my friend.

Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi there,
To me, it seems impossible to convey a story in just twenty syllables, but you managed to do it. I could feel the peace of the scene you presented with your choice of artwork.
Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest,
