Notes About The Poem

*2nd Terzanelle.  Still practicing.

Love Rests

Love rests in places that are safe to be
Where there is truth and trust that is real
No shaking earthquakes or storms to see

Love rests with words, you can confide and feel
No thunder clap surprises, consistent at best
Where there is truth and trust that is real

Love rests with the sunset each day in the West
With giving and sacrifice, open as the sea
No thunder clap surprises, consistent at best

Love rests with belief and dedication, willingly
Flowing softly like the breeze through the trees
With giving and sacrifice, open as the sea

Love rests in our hearts, always there for free
To know this, act on this, to become it all
Flowing like the soft breeze through the trees

Love can lift us higher to places we don’t fall
Love rests in places that are safe to be
To know this, act on this, to become it all
No shaking earthquake or storms to see

This is surely one of your best writes my friend, and it is a new form to you! Don't you just love the way it flows? I love Terzanelles, but I like Vilanelles better! Have you tried one of those yet? If you haven't try one! They are even more fun, but tough to master! I really enjoyed reading your tremendous poem here this morning (I'm a little late in responding)! What a lovely piece, Great Work!!
