Where Quietude Holds

Sweet songs revel the shadows
a painted bunting's warble
hidden, as am I, living out
a poetic rhapsody of time

look away to where nature's winds
carry countless stories of love
patiently awaiting to lie down
on pristine sheets of pure passion

ink dipped in lavender lips of seda 
where the lines prosper and live
free, with you, warm words afloat
like the fragrant lotus in full bloom

  take me kindly into your bosom
   where the quietude holds long
