Winter Peace

Winter Peace

An old branch brushing against the eve 
Rhythm of rain on the window
Wood burning low in the fire
Chopin soothing the soul
Memories awake
Soup simmering
Love’s own hand
Safe now

This sounds like perfection to me. Perhaps a glass of wine, and not noisy Chopin, not the famous Polonaise. I love your good taste. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

Barbara, theimagery here is terrific and the flow is smooth while the tone perfect. If I may suggest adding one word to the 1st line "An old branch" otherwise a lovely write and read. Michael

A dreamy, homey poem. What could be nicer than Chopin playing, the smell of comfort in the house, and love and warmth! You set the perfect mood. Nicely done~ Carrie
