Matthew Anish Poet Lyric

Reign of Peace

Into the mist 
I passed
         Leaving earthly cares
far behind
       Sweet rainfall 
caressing me
   Now I really understand 
what was meant for me
      Overhead 
trees with leaves of 
      silver
   Glitter in the sunshine
Our days eventually fade 
into emptiness
    But as we begin 
the dance
   We know joy
    As we breathe in 
         the perfumed air
our souls take 
         delight 
In the dance of nature
We are at peace

Donna Golden September 12, 2009 at 11:05 PM This is a lovely lyric, Matthew! You create a tone for such tranquility, here. I have only just read the Frost poem to which you referred on my poem, "Off the Top". Frost has been one whose work I have admired since I was a young girl. Not sure why I'd never heard "Nothing Gold Can Stay", but it will surely not be forgotten. Simply beautiful. You have taken on the same gift for lovingly describing and grasping the essence of nature. Hugs, my friend! Donna

Carolyn Devonshire August 16, 2009 at 12:35 AM Somehow I see a sould rising up through the trees to heaven. And I have always believed that to find peace is to know true joy. Beautiful poem! Love, Carolyn
