Michelle Mac Donald Poet Couplet

The Lull

I seek the lull--
To feel the tranquility of the night
The hush of birds in calm respite
The quiet compose of ancient trees
The muted hymn on dulcet breeze
On quiescent ridge of nocturne quest
Find soothing balm on angel’s breath.
Abeyant mind, free of hurt or qualm
Opens to Christ when faith is strong
Fearfully reached to touch a lightning rod
But found instead, the hand of God.

Daver Austin August 10, 2016 at 2:05 PM The "Lull" I equate to my lines and spaces. It is the nospace where inner peace takes over and your blessed Christ reveals himself. You are so deep and beautiful. Love, daver Michelle Mac Donald August 11, 2016 at 12:08 PM I'm so very excited, you will LOVE this painting, Daver! :) It's wrapped, but still needs an outside covering. No longer had a frame, but still the best part was left behind. Le Chat Noir had been a cabaret frequented by Picasso. You'll see why.:))

Daver Austin March 4, 2016 at 11:11 AM Hi, Mikki. We had, I hope, our last big snow storm. I'm ready for spring. Even the cats don't want to stay out long. A King Kong hug from Old Dave

Shane Cooper March 2, 2015 at 1:25 AM My dear friend mikki your poem is beautiful the way you have described opening your mind to God and then closing with "But found instead, the hand of God."Astounding imagry. My wonderful poetess your work always touches my heart and mind. I am so glad to call you friend. love Shane xxx

Daver Austin September 30, 2014 at 2:42 PM Here's one I missed, Mikki. It's like an unexpected gift. "The muted hymn on dulcet breeze." A regular hymn of praise the poem seems. You are so gifted. And it is rare to find one of your ability. Please write some more for us. A bear hug. daver
