A Shawl

May my poems be a downy shawl That guards against the cold; As peaceful as the flurries fall That about the woodlands fold. And May my words sustain you, Even as a coat of fur— Warm the soul and hope renew, As the images occur. And should you feel the least alone, May my rhyme a comfort be— My words a wrap of quietude; Of repose and harmony.

Hi Charmaine. “A splash in calm beauty,” a lovely way of putting it. Makes me think...a dip in the restless sea of desire—wading in the wake of wonder...

Your poems are making me feel like I am being wrapped up and cuddled this morning, Kenneth.

How very kind of you! Stay tuned, even as I weave further tapestries to entertain, comfort, inspire and hopefully evoke an emotion, or two.
