Peaceful Place

wrap me in threads of moonlit grass
just for this  single waning eve
though blossoms rest on quiet waves
I feel split from the halves of earth
as wickers of fear grate me within--
then come for me; be the thread... and as
 
night becomes my morning blue silver
if only to taste this light in soft of hours
and touch the kaleidoscope of my eyes
when all this grating phobia vanishes;
then let morning thrill upon evening
 
on its limitless, seamless fearless place.

Hey Nette..You painted your fears with excellence..the image of a room at the beginning was superb...followed by how your mind races with fear of car wrecks...I too have lost friends like this and it still evokes fear and panic in my mind...A strong and encouraging ending filled with "glowing peace." This was a winner from the start!! Congrats darling! Gwendolen

Nette, breathtaking imagery, speaks to me on a personal level, too. I LOVED the second to last line. I also thought "wicker of fear" was fab, all that weaving, tight and strong... good image!
