Tranquility.

It is,

The fountain of my strength…my resolve. 
Every face of my charity, my aspirations
From which I draw my every thought

That impetus which drives me forward
Soft illusory colours that decorate dreams
Those cooling salves that ease my spirit

Each warming beam from the morning dawn
My collective and defining experiences
The epiphany only seen in the minds eye

The furtive knowledge of understanding
Sweet breaths of angelic divinity
Essences of delicately dusted solitude

Warmed rains washing and anointing 
Pins of light on the sable sky of midnight 
And the easy ardent blushing of moonlight

My resonant voice of the silenced soul
The feminine embrace of all humanity
Our lost and veiled nobility of the infinite

Serenity…

Hi Charles - How are you? Hope all is well. Winning your contest...are you kidding me? You are an exceptional poet I admire and look up to on this site. An accolade such as this, from an amazing writer/poet, is truly an honor. I'm dumbfounded! Thank you so much, Charlie! I didn't know how else to email you except via a comment.
