You Comfort Me

The world’s on fire, and I’m afraid. When you are here, the noises fade. You comfort me with your sweet songs. Inside your calm my soul belongs. When you are here, the noises fade, and so the stings of countless wrongs. Inside your calm my soul belongs. Your whispers all my trembling stay. You soothe the stings of countless wrongs and comfort me with your sweet songs. Your whispers all my trembling stay, when the world’s on fire, and I’m afraid.

You have certainly cracked the pantoum, PS, I hope you are now getting the satisfaction of a Rubric Cube projectile!

Lovely tribute, in pantoum form, to the 'you' who soothes and comforts, P.S... And I am rightly proud to be the first to post a Welcome Back to you on the occasion of this poem. From pantoum (Oct, 2019) to pantoum (June, 2020). So nice to see your avatar!! Cheers, Gershon
