Notes About The Poem

image from Lori Maloy

TOUSLED SKY

TOUSLED SKY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts upon feathered wings glide on a wind-tousled sky bringing me to the realization that achieving tranquility is possible....
in the silence deep
a world of thoughts, a universe
expands and contracts

universe within,
a guiding force navigates
the journey inward

in tranquility
wisdom's jeweled treasures found
mind and soul entwine

Danny Derden September 15, 2025 at 4:03 PM This is a beautifully meditative poem. The images of "feathered wings" and a "tousled sky" create a wonderful sense of peaceful movement. The haiku-like structure at the end is particularly effective, offering a quiet, introspective close. sara Etgen-Baker September 15, 2025 at 5:51 PM thank you, Danny, for dropping by and for your meaningful comments.
