Peace

the smile of a stranger the caress of the summer breeze the random laugh of a child doubled over to its knees the gentle crash of the ocean the hand settled in mine the clouds making faces in this endless space of time

Hi J-This to me denotes tranquillity and happiness,a beautiful combination.You have a lovely visual way of expression. I can see your little child bent over with laughter.Although few lines this speaks volumes.I think you are very skilful.Your words waft over the readers mind creating within them their own feelings of serenity and peace.Congratulations for making the feature page.And thank you for sharing this beautiful piece that I would like to add to my favourites please. Luv June(Sylvia)
