Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Couplet

Time Alone

Today, I spent some time alone
to settle down into my bones.
I nestled deep in songs at last,
soothed by the choir of loved ones passed.
Forgotten was the ache of loss,
I meditated on the cross.
My mind was clear of lists and worries.
My soul at peace was in no hurry. 
I synchronized breaths with the breeze
and God’s empathic voice with ease.
I never uttered words of prayer,
just listened, in my silence bare.
Oh, how the world washes away
our innocence to love and play!
Our spirits fraught long to seek God,
Heaven’s envoy in His ballade.
Today, I spent some time alone
to feel my soul set free from bone.

Kp Nunez June 6, 2015 at 12:30 PM I can relate to this, Rhonda. Moms just need some solitude."My mind was clear of lists and worries. My soul at peace was in no hurry." perfectly captured it." You write the hidden thoughts of a mind, and explore the secret passages of the soul...hmmn, I think I wrote my own spot definition of a poet, let me explore it more...haha. (unless it's been used already) Hugs! Kim :-)
