Peace Like a River
Water of the sublime dusk
Slow moving, decorated in color
A idea by the sea
Moonlight shines on jasmine blossoms
Waves and wind making ripples,
crickets begin to sound
Where do streams flow?
Poise in an old oil lamp
Fantasies filled with fireflies
Romance in an old wine glass
Bonfire on the shoreline blazes
Olive oil, garlic, parsley
Time, a clock stopped
Adventure amidst blooming peonies
Breeze blows the silk curtain
Our dialogue is an easel
Colors of oil paints run freely
Our love an old country road
Reflections of children playing.
Fall trees caress my dreams
I whistle, walking the shore
Felt spires in lilac clouds
Wreaths and garland ideals
Brick alleys with flowerpots
Away from the dark shadows
Birds singing on a wire
Day and night like lovers
Colors soft prism rainbows
Storms as soft as velvet
Peace, a quiet river
