A SONG BENEATH SILENCE is a captivating collection of evocative poetry from the heart and soul of Apryl Skies. Beauty often emerges from the most unexpected places and this concept is intricately weaved throughout her charismatic literary debut. This collection is an engaging journey through a poetic labyrinth and an intimate look at the lines that blur; dreams and reality.

"...and my hands have grown old
writing this poem,
like a poet watching flowers grow
as angels tow the hours."

   Painted of possibility, perception and hope: A Song Beneath Silence ~By Apryl Skies, is a colorful and expressive odyssey that touches upon the delicate human condition unlike any other.

Equinox

 

Behold bold spring!

So wicked with violets

and sudden thunder,

 

better for trees,

better for excited

leaves of green!

 

Bright the yellow

that spins upon

platinum clouds

and the marine

that hides beneath them,

 

far better

for the meadow’s

brilliant faces

all butterflies and sunshine

 

tap, tap

went the musical ants

that prance

upon rain-lazy

pavements,

 

for the drops  that fall

somber upon landscapes

and the water skates

that escape into my

deeper dreaming...
