Peace



view-image.php by Lynn Greyling


Peace 

Just out of sight
beyond the haze of misty horizon
there, conjure a sweet nest of golden twine for me
oh singing Spirits of the Bend
where I can carry each trouble
lay them down in nascent neglect as they
transform to tinkling trinkets sparkling on a coverlet
I pull over the curl of my unburdened back, floating, a soft cap, on a cerulean sea
sleep slipping swiftly over me - dreams sliding sweetly through me
as I, with somnolent sigh, melt molten into your trusted embrace
pouring peace  

~

  4. "Spirits of the Bend" Is that a real song, or did you just make up that title? And if you just made it up, are you going to make up words and music also, because I would love to hear that song!

    1. Hi Magic ... I thought I made it up! If I could write a sing I would - perhaps you can sing it :)

  9. Peace in the arms of your sweetheart. Lovely! But that cloud looks threatening to me.
    btw: there is minor grammatical oversight, "them" and "they" are plural yet refer back to "each trouble" which is singular.

  20. I love how the poem gives off a feeling of melting for me all the way down to where it says "melts molten." How perfect that it ends with "pouring."
