Hues A Flow

 



...when the quietude whispers...

Hues A Flow
the ocean's roar in the shell
the breath's calling in the heart
the creator's dance in the soul
the artist's hues a flow.

The poem “Hues A Flow” by Rose Marie Raccioppi beautifully captures the essence of interconnectedness between nature, creativity, and the human spirit. Let’s delve into its meaning and significance:

The Ocean’s Roar in the Shell:
This line evokes the idea that even within something small and seemingly insignificant (like a shell), there exists a reflection of grandeur and power (the ocean’s roar). It speaks to the hidden depths within each of us, waiting to be discovered.
The shell symbolizes containment, protection, and the mysteries of life. When we listen closely, we can hear echoes of vastness and eternity—the ocean’s roar—within our own hearts.
The Breath’s Calling in the Heart:
Our breath is both involuntary and essential for life. It connects us to the rhythm of existence. Here, it represents intuition, longing, and inner guidance.
The heart, often associated with emotions and passion, responds to this calling. It suggests that our deepest desires and purpose are encoded within us, waiting to be recognized.
The Creator’s Dance in the Soul:
This line celebrates the divine spark within us—the creative force that animates our existence. It’s the dance of life, the cosmic choreography.
Whether we interpret the creator as a higher power, the universe, or our own inner muse, it reminds us that we are co-creators in this grand dance of existence.
The Artist’s Hues a Flow:
The artist here can be anyone who expresses themselves—through art, music, writing, or any form of creativity. Their hues represent the colors of life, emotions, and experiences.
The flow suggests that creativity is not stagnant; it moves, evolves, and blends. It’s a continuous process of expression and transformation.
Overall Significance:
The poem weaves together these elements—nature, intuition, creativity, and expression—into a harmonious whole. It invites us to recognize the interconnectedness of all things.
The image accompanying the poem further amplifies this message. Its abstract, flowing forms mirror the hues of life, the dance of creation, and the whispers of quietude.
As for the image itself, it portrays an organic, serene composition—a visual representation of the poem’s themes. The soft colors and gentle shapes evoke a sense of calm and unity.
In summary, “Hues A Flow” invites us to listen, observe, and participate in the symphony of existence. It encourages us to find beauty in the ordinary, recognize our inner calling, and let our creative hues flow freely. Rose Marie Raccioppi’s work, both in words and image, invites contemplation and connection.

Sunday Morning in June... At my window...


At my window...
     The gentle warmth of the sun
          The room filled with streaming brilliance
               The sweet sounding song bird song
                    The glistening leaves of the dogwood
                         The stillness of the lithe bamboo tall
                              The hush, the quietude
                                   The breath
                                         The embrace of the morning light
 
                                                                    ... known be I 
                                                    ... to the Presence.

Afar a Black Bird



The songbird song heard
So sweet be this touch of sound
The clear blue sky with whispers of grace
Bright, clear, warming sun
Felt be these rays of love from source
Fresh fragrance of bloom, trees in floral array
The caress of the calm wind upon my face
Ambrosial quietude
The shimmering dance of light upon leaves 
Afar a black bird perched on a high wire
Such be the savor of time, distance and PRESENCE.

The quiet resounds
The silence speaks, the silence sings
The quietude echoes the breath
The stillness echoes the heart
Embraced by a timelessness
Held by the spirit of ONE
The pause, the meditative moment
ALL IS the PRESENCE
The breath, the breath, the breath
The breath of BEING
The quiet resounds.

In the Quietude of the Day's Dawning...



In the Quietude of the Day's Dawning...

Embraced by the stillness, held by the silence
Within the stillness the breath be heard
Within the silence be THE WORD
The SELF in stillness, revelations be known

The SELF in silence, THE WAY be shown.

...a grace... a delight... In Quietude


gentle be the warmth of the sun
deep be the breath of resolve
a quietude, a pause, a knowing devine
take I to palette with brush and paint
the firmament lambent with love and light
in quietude, a grace, blessings of delight.

Dearest Friends, Thank You for visiting. This has been a WINTER to its name here in New York. Today, with yet mounds of snow from the last snowstorm, hints of the SPRING to come are joyfully present. Melting snow, peeking green of the daffodils, brilliant clear sky, the touch of the warming sun, all within the embrace of quietude and this season's cycle of change... so BE the Glory of Creation.... much love on to you... Rose Marie Raccioppi

the din put to rest
this moment's sweet quietude
savor of silence.

lambent sky above
gentle ripple of water

Interlude


interlude
that space
the embrace of solitude
the touch of silence
the voiceless guide that calls
the known
a PRESENCE
a timeless moment
deep sleep
a flight to eternity
a pause
quietude
and ALL IS.

This Breath Known


Solitude
The quiet of God's grace
These echoes of thought
Hushed by resounding stillness of soul
The gathering of time
Moments suspended
Embraced by the ALL
Within nature's Oneness
This heart real
This breath known.

Woven Threads


Woven threads

Thought and being
Solitude
Moments of intimacy
With the inner secrets of self
Passion in quietude
To move this soul's Presence to praise
A silent resonant call is heard
Wonder, oneness, echo a repose.

Favor On To You

God's gifts to be known
By the bounty of earth shown
God's voice to be heard
In the hearing of his Word
For life given unto me
For flowing waters of the sea
For the feel of your love divine
For this moment in grace mine
For the budding of life in Spring
For the beauty Summer does bring
For colors in splendor each Fall
For the snows of Winter blessing all
Each moment, day and passing year
In gratitude for life evermore dear
A knowing of an inner spirit of calm
God's love shielding me from harm
Cold be winter's winds now that blow
Upon my face sun's noon warming glow
In joyful reverence this day gifted new
God's love, praise and favor on to you.

Rose Marie Raccioppi
