Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

Finding Peace

Isn’t it a wonder, how
letting in the slap of the tide
to rest against the walls of your skin
reverberate with peacefulness
calming the days vibration
easing the stress

Isn’t it a blessing, how
Looking out over the wide bay
Towards the distant islands in blue
Softens your lips of compressed lines
Makes your breath a deep haven
Shredding anxiety

Isn’t it a sorrowful memory, how
The voice of a bagpipes bellows
Catches in your throat
As Amazing Grace drifts into the sky
Leaving notes of love, family and friends
Creating connection

Isn’t it like a lovers caress, how
The sun’s slowing sinking orb
Sends to you golden hues of love
Reflected in your eyes and felt
Softly, upon your upturned face
Granting you peace

Rico Leffanta September 1, 2022 at 11:06 AM Reminded me of, "Danny Boy" (the pipes, the pipes are calling, from glen to glen, and down the mountainside) to arms rather than to peace, but well thought and done Jeanne! Aloha! Jeanne Mcgee September 1, 2022 at 8:54 PM Aloha Rico. I was on the beach when a fellow started playing...it was magic at sunset. I'm glad you got hit with it too. :D

Sam Kauffman September 1, 2022 at 10:57 AM Jeanne, isn't this just a wonderful gem! Love the bagpipes reference. They always stir something very deep in my Celtic heart. So happy to see you back in the soup doing the backstroke! Blessings! Welcome back.
