Thomas Noel Smith Poems

Have you heard the wind blow
Through the leaves of tress
That sway and bend
In reverence to the wind?
...

Quiet moments,
In the still evening
Sweet smells and tender memories
Drifting on the gentle breeze
...

I have watched with awe
As the sun slowly sinks
Beyond the distant western fields
And I’ve wondered
...

The evening song
Breathes its melody
Through open windows
Floating above candle flames
...

Time measured by the ticking
Of the village clock
The bell sounds, striking twelve
And another day is over
...

There are songs that I can’t forget
Of joys that I once knew
And precious moments of my life
That oft I’ve heard anew
...

7.

While the clock is loudly ticking
Sounding the seconds of my life
...

Why was I thrust into this world
Ignorant, innocent of what lay ahead?
Could there be no warning note
No sound, no whisper,
...

Will there ever be a morning
That warms the soul with life?
If I waited for its coming
Could I see it with my eyes?
...

I remember when that “long ago”
Was merely yesterday
And all my bright tomorrows
Seemed so far away
...

Reflections of life,
Images in mirrors…
People’s faces
Reflections of who they are
...

Outside my window
The magnolia tree blooms
And sheds its flowers
As they age.
...

The memories of lost deities
Blown away with the winds of change
All the gods who answered prayers
And made men’s lives complete.
...

Rhubarb, my soft orange cat
Lies sleeping on the bed
His head curled tight
Against his chest
...

I’ve watched the great parade of men
Go proudly marching by,
Strutting onward, pretending glory…
And leaving me on this lonely plain alone.
...

I tried to hold one day
And keep it in my heart
I tried to grasp one fleeting hour
And save it in my mind
...

In the middle of life
What was known
Becomes a distant point on a fading horizon
...

Where are your words for me?
Are they hidden in your heart?
Are your lips forever sealed?
Your eyes look at my shadow
...

19.

Dreams
Haunt the heart
With night music
The music of centuries lost
...

We have our dreams to guide us home
To give us comfort as we sleep
And when slumber comes, dreams fly up
To knock at heaven’s door
...

The Best Poem Of Thomas Noel Smith

The Song Of The Wind

Have you heard the wind blow
Through the leaves of tress
That sway and bend
In reverence to the wind?

Have you heard the lonely song
Of the wind
As it searches the world
Looking for its love?

Oh, the song of the wind,
A melancholy dirge,
Singing in time
To the funeral march
Of a forgotten soul

And the song of the wind
Howls mournfully...
The song of a heart that is breaking
And can no longer live
Without his love.
