One Shepherd Waits

Wheels of life overtake busy hours racing along fast highway of time, and jammed thoughts forget sunset’s delight while roses, once in love, stoop... tires fizzle, even when the hills fondle the peaks of embossed leaves, there are no hours for leisure on the streams, not yet. Still, when evanescent light envelopes all things tender and dusk floats along a wing of clouds, He waits there... The shepherd becoming one of his sheep guiding freely, moving quietly content as breath of air, telling me to listen softly where a fragile voice awakens a hum within my bosom... a Source unseen yet felt deeply, as if to comfort this restless spirit that the journey lies in not asking why, but trusting how, in silence, He waits with me. Richard Lamoreux's Tell Me 3/31/2015

Hello dear poet ! I love commenting on a write like this one. And not often do I get to do so, because of my thirst for the terse write, they keepsss me quite busy with comments. Anywhooooo; I love the apertures between your stanza's Nette, in this write especially. That clutch of your, (excuse me) "bosom", managed to cause the zenith in this write ! The entire write, in a poetic realization flowed well ! Have a blessed day my friend !...Much love, james
