The Arms of Eternity

Like glistening diamonds

the sun sparkles

upon the surface of the deep

A gentle breeze caresses me

as I wander aimlessly
along golden sands

that stretch out endlessly before me

 

The soft breath of the breeze

is like a whisper upon my skin

a secret

silently embedding itself into my soul

 

Majestic mountains tower above me
distant islands of life

that keep their mysteries hidden

from the eyes of man

Warmed by the fiery kiss of the sun

I allow myself to drift away

Surrendering into the arms of eternity
I joyfully enter into a timeless world

of love and peace

 

Finding freedom for a brief moment

from the sorrows of this present world

in-which we must 

for time unknown live

A beautiful poem. I like the places you took me in your words. The powerful description took me to good places and create good visions.

I really like this one. Vividly detailed and emotionally compact. Nicely done. The penguins will surely appreciate the doughnut holes laying around iceland.
