Through A Window

something more tradtional..

Whisper the stress in sky

That pulls the strength from blue

A church open like an October rose.

The path says; joins arms with me

In solace; the darkness cools my face

Night`s curtains calm my eyes.

Have seen this many times before,

The picture stencilled in my soul

For times when I dare to rest;

The inner way,the road so hard.

For me, this had the feeling of going to confession, but hey, that may just be the Catholic in me.

[Coyote Song]

A very well crafted poem. Its somber and mysterious but very
compelling.

[Alfred Kukitz]

The depth at which you write prose is exceptional. I don't think anyone can write as deep.

[Tina Kline]

A nicely penned unique poem. Often our thoughts that run about in our minds keep us from rest. The days and nights that seem to repeat themselves yet are never really the same. Some troubling and others more joyful. Even so, they can keep peace away.

[Briana O'Connor]

Very beautiful words elegantly strewn together in a mysterious tale. Well penned.

[Leslie Philibert]

Thanks for the kind words, from a poet of your quality praise indeed !

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Your works are always worth waiting for Leslie. Shades of winter's approach in this and perhaps the anology of passing time itself as we struggle with life and grow older? As always it feels a privilage to read you.

[Leslie Philibert]

Thanks as ever fro your kind words...

Thanks for the review 1

[Jeremy Baker]

Simple, pure and beautiful, Leslie. The wistfulness of longing, of daring, the need for calm and peace. The structure and flow complement the expression and descriptions. Wonderful writing.

[Leslie Philibert]

Thanks for the review, this is a more traditional write, got the feeling for it after reading Seamus Heaney`s last poem in the Guardian newspaper, I wanted to try and get a feeling of quiet across..

[Leslie Philibert]

Thanks for the kind words, I try here in my own talentless way to get an echo of Heaney, which I naturally don`t manage !
