Language of Calmness

A fading sunset warmly glows On woodland touched by Autumn’s clay And trickling down, a soft rainfall Beneath a copper frame of sky. My humming senses grasp the winds Like keepers in a serenade, To taste a calmness that renews Ripe budding of soul’s gentle drift Mellow the sound passing through shrubs A constant wait for moon to peep, That silence holds its own language Where grasses meet my eyes, humbled By tincture that heals sweet forgiving Through graceful bows of newborn leaves. I lay between the straws of light Till downhill walk takes me back home. In the Woods Contest, Caleb Smith by nette onclaud

I wish to echo what Eileen said, she stated that this write is tranquil and serene, this is so very true my friend! I'm sorry for my absence but I have some bad news, I might have prostate cancer! I am having problems using the bathroom and come to find out it's because I have a tumor! I find out tomorrow if it's malignant! It seems things happen in threes and this is my third bad thing within a month, so that is it(I hope)! I really missed all my friends here, I just had to read some today! So
