Peace

I've always been one
to let the loneliness in
but not for long
a fight
each patterned step
out of the way

these thoughts
haphazard
weaved in and out of me before
momentarily drifting away

~

I'm a moon that's rarely full
lost on the other side
darkness
daring gravity
to hold on to me
to beg of you to see
to stay

but ...
it's only pushing you
further further away


if only ...
I was your light of day
a breath that breeds
beauty
the reflection of your sun
where we would lay
our hearts
gently
among lavender fields
fully released
of love and life
and peace

"When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free." xx

"Peace flows into me As the tide to the pool by the shore; It is mine forevermore, It ebbs not back like the sea …" One of your most beautiful poems Schmidt. On with the day/night.

Some kind of peace...;) I'm probably more Thomas Shelby in psyche, than Polly. xx https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/necropoleis_1242139
