The Key

Shapely and sturdy
with ridges 
to explore..

The texture is 
smooth
and lovingly 
adored..

A priceless gift 
which can 
only be bestowed..

By a thought 
a moment
of pure 
heavenly bliss..

So with this key
that unlocks
for only a rare few..

May you find
upon entering
this..

sacred..

glorious..

place..

Your key
fits 
perfectly..

In your
own
precious gate.

You are always so upbeat and positive in most of your poems, I think you may be my opposite, lol. A lovely poem Lynn. You brought a gentle sweet smile to my face. I'll make a copy of my key for you. I hope you're well.

While entering in to a beautiful ridge through its gate way having nice feeling which is like a key opens the door of mind and gradually beautiful things are seen and can be realized how much beautiful it is. Good feeling itself is a key that paves further to realize more beauty in life. i smell a nice philosophy here that think beauty to feel beauty more ahead. A nice seven. Hugs, Cloudy poet, bl

Hi Lynn, a well thought out poem with wonderful content. You have used the free verse form well in this write. You have used its scope really well. I find free verse can give you far more scope in your writing. The key is a beautiful journey you do take us on Lynn. Your words come from the heart and touch the heart so gently. I Love perusing your words and i look forward to seeing some new ones when you can write them. This is a definite seven and a fave. Love....Mike. XX
