About This Poem

My Only Blessing is Peace Earned

The beginning of my thanks begins at knees,
Having my aches eased, or body suffused,
All that comes to mind is sleep and serene.
Nobody that offers bread can empty,
Knives may cut meat and find platter greasy,
Supper ended, dishes done, there’s always cheer.
Give one for the road, one for tomorrow,
Invest within self, hugs or tomato growing,
Venture into unknown so what is known
Is another taste that takes you back to home.
Nothingness can fill everyone’s hands if home
Gives back to our bodies and delivers to me peace.

    Your last two lines are best, The quest for peace is the ultimate truth.

    ‡ A Sincere Coloured Canvas Brushed Amid Intros Vestive Hues, Sweet Beautiful Sheri. 'The Beginning Of My Thanks Begins At Kness.' I Like That, Whether Figurative And Or Literal ? This Flesh, An Enmity Of The Spirit; It Feeds Upon Its Own ? The Spirit Cries, 'Abba;' And The Two Can Never Merge! So What Shall We Feed Upon ? And Where Be Our Home ? I Find The Greasy Platter As The Knife, Be The World This Life. A Taste Much Sweeter, Lay Amid Divinities, Celestial Stars! Beautiful Painting, Sooo Much So That I Shall Favour, Its Talented As Beautiful Artist. 'Happy Holidays.' My Love, Always, Rachel *
