Into Day's Quiet Time

I quest for stars...for calm repose 
Lingering far from darkened sea
beyond weaves of tranquility.

Noises from my barbed mind grow pale
As I reach this quiet of trance
Engaged in one mystical dance.

Through solitude...fear vanishes
This thorn released in quiet time
When minutes drift from pause sublime.

And tracing imprints…sand from  heel
Gentle the lift , from nowhere came
Where healing breathes…as I the same.

Till moonglow touches my skin bare, 
A flow, a sigh...I turn to greet
Lightness of  soul,  my day complete.

First Place

Lyric Man Date: 5/14/2025 12:22:00 PM Nette, it's been years.. but I dropped in today and saw that you are back to posting your amazing poetry. Reading "Whispers of Tranquility" was like walking quietly through the soul of a dear and deeply cherish friend—grateful for that inner connection. With beauty and truth you took this reader on a somewhat spiritual journey. You offered sanctuary in the solitude. The breath of stillness had the fragrance of reverent wonder. Your work not only spoke, it soothed. Hurts are real.. but peace is a balm that heals. Grateful souls can transcend the pain of daily living. Thank you, for a glimpse inside.. I see that your art is still creating hope. Blessings! Login to Reply
