Best Solace Poems

The wonder of nature you describe with the color of feelings 
that even the blind sees the beauty, for you anoint with your sight.
From my forgotten core, words you inspire gush forth in indignant prose
like the lion who protects her young, who roars in warning...

There they were, in the center of
our asphalt cul-de-sac street
circled around their dead companion,
four common myna birds, holding
their own semblance of a funeral.
I slowly backed out of my driveway
and passed by them in quiet reverie.
They didn't attempt to fly away or
even move as I passed...

When my final shadows cling on desperately
Where I fight formidable battles
to merely hold the light
I send you loving vibrations
and soul sustenance
Deep from the cathedral
of one heart to another
where today no choirs sing
nor symphonies play
Yet it is here where we meet
in spiritual solace
here to surrender 
and...

                ferry me home....
I weep in quivering quiescence 
      like a weathered wild petal~ 
  healing and hurting

I had found solace in my quill
Because therein could be expressed
That tragedy which gave me chills.
The pen and ink gave me some rest—

Because therein could be expressed
The cold emotion that I felt.
The pen and ink gave me some rest
From my own soul's distress and welts.

The path is rocky
That leads me out of the dark
And into the light

i amble through the corridors
of this comfortless life
...the echo of your footsteps
meander behind me
in shallow strides
bestowed by death

i feel the pierce
of your eyes
fall from clouded skies
slashing the core of my soul

the corpus of your being
knocking me back
through every tempest
of storm's breath

the lash of death
pummeling me
with...

The mistakes of many holds true till now. Unanswered questions and unforgiving thoughts. 
No one knows me. 
No one knows, how broken and beaten you are. No one ask, to see your scar, your broken doors left ajar. 
There is no more wonder in your...

Solace.

Solace found in secret places
A world away from life's stressful aberrant  din
Equilibrium and soul restored
I can finally breath
Heart smiles on reflection deep within

Sanctuary abounds in a blaze of abundant glory
Inner calm as a gentle pleasing summer breeze
Ever closure to the divine
Ancient echoes resonate in...

steeped in mundane, worldly desires, blind I am
I wish to attract His blessed attention
His presence is all pervading, I forgot
grant solace to soul.

On days where life feels too heavy,
Just needing a wee break from home,
I seek solace along the coast of the Solway Firth,
A natural place of beauty, I love to endlessly roam.

Walking along the dark earthy sand,
It scratches the soles of my feet,
I'm at peace and...

*** OF AND ABOUT IT ALL ***

Life’s  so much a-coming or a-going,
With hours of waiting or flowing
From now to next
While we step about, hopefully blessed —
On a quest for things major or minor to cherish 

In our sometimes to come.  We sojourn thence
From...

In the realm of life, where shadows dance,
There exists a force, a divine expanse,
A beacon of light, through darkest night,
A flame that flickers, ever burning bright.

Faith, the compass of the wandering soul,
Guiding our steps towards an unknown goal,
It whispers softly, in the depths of our...

NATURE OF HEART 

Dual curved carved
crystalline
earth pointed plasmic 
        Oneness 
quantum wave
particled 
allows Heart to heave
 
Heal with white light 
eagles 
on Tibetan height nights  
continuously crafted 
         ...

Would they notice,
If my solace escaped?
If my sombre eyes finally pinned shut.
Life is just.
I must. 
That fake smile, the painful mask I sew to my skin,
Just to feel something. 
Hanging on by a single thread. 
Each day tugs at the strings,
Test another limit.
Is it normal,...
