Short Pebbly Poems

My hurt heart is soothed beneath
dewy, emerald 
canopies

where pebbly pathways wind
around a shaded fountain 
of peace.

A lotus pond meditates here.
A busy birdbath frolics 
there.

Ah, what soft, serene solace,
light as a feather my 
soul is!...

The most peaceful time of day is just before sunrise when you are alone and have the whole world to yourself. 
Quote by poet. 



At dawn I went for a stroll along the lonely beach, 
waves were lapping gently on the pebbly shoreline. 
Then there it was before me a golden orb; sunrise.

Here is where my hurt heart 
finds rest:

       beneath emerald canopies 
       at the park

       where a pebbly pathway meanders 
       and widens

       into a circlet with a fountain refreshing, 
       gushing;

       softly splashing, a busy birdbath here, 
       a turtle pond there.

With such solace, light as a feather 
my soul is....

Endeavoring to earn a needle in a high stack. 
Such a story could be said to be pebbly. 
I'd admire to be by a moving plane slack. 
Step onward to the top mark of the mountain. 
To discover Paradise, I'll sail the ocean. 
Then, the matchless clock began to strike badly. 
However, I hide behind a delicate, humble fiction. 
Lose all resources totally in a fantasy yack.

Love is a village song
Love is a setting sun
Love is a morning mist
Love is a maiden kiss
Love is a first smile
Love is a pebbly street
Love is a sandy beach
Love is a water cloud
Love is a flower vase
Love is a first date
Love is a warm milk
Love is a sunny brook
Love is a dream
Love is a spirit
Love is an essence
Love is a psyche 
Love is a life
Love is a mind 
Love is a reason
Love is a question
Love is an answer
Love is the beginning
Love is the end....

A single dream is worth
a thousand realities.
                    J.R R. Tolkien 

When the world
closes in and presses all ill 
to squeeze what space 
you have into a tiny ball - 
there are always
places where you can go, 
be it a quiet wood
or beside a pebbly stream 
or any other refuge 
your soul can dream.
Such places are beyond
the machinations 
of the State, safe provinces 
of the creative mind,
chaos and tariff free  -
the real estate 
of the Sublime.
