If you just believe

 

 

~

 

Below the alabaster clouds

and ever-changing canvas skies

Along a stream of golden pearls,

encased in truths and wayward sighs

 

Of glowing share and moonlit cues,

where fate does fold on satin sheet

Beside the ripples carved in time

with effervescent moments sweet

 

Neath mountain tops of splendored joy

and valleys filled with summer days

To light the way of darkened shore,

a path through oleander haze

 

Where sunsets play in twilight scenes

you’ll find amidst their crimson weave

A place where all your dreams come true,

this evening if you just believe

your cadence in this one is pitch-perfect Will. A fabulous canvas painted with exacting images and vistas for the mind to skim along. All topped off with a killer of a closing line. Bravo my friend

Thanks so much Kne. I am glad you liked it.

[willweb]

I meant Ken, but Kne looks pretty cool. : )

This one made me want to light the hallowed torch and tread my way lightly, descending the cobweb stairs to the caverns of crystalline air. The entrance into our hidden Chamelot is going to show again. Round table and all. Who truly cares about the grail so long as we have Guinevere that cheating little...lol. It almost keeps the same tempo as Elvis" "Memories" If you haven't heard it you'll get it by the end. But you have to love where it leads and how it ends as it begins. Nowhere and everywhere...Shambala in the form of Shangri-la. It's in the language..the believing is in the journey and in the language as well. A wondrous gift that leads you back where you began...into the valley once more. Well received and enjoyed. I was sure The Lady of the Lake was going to come out of the screen with a white horse and sword with my next worthy journey. Always the believer sir!! Well done and a beautiful gift~

Thanks so much for you review of my work and I remember Guinnie, she has put on some weight lately, never should have filled the round table with so much food.

[Dara]

This is very beautifully written. It conveys a feeling of hope and peace, two things that we seem to have too little of these days.

[willweb]

You can say that again. Thank you so very much Dara. It is so nice to see you here.

[Pax]

Believing is quite a natural thing for us, and being hurt and broken at times our beliefs are shifting too much that it's hard to feel what's right... That's why we needed a little push one step at a time to start believing again, and this poems its Job beautifully...

[willweb]

Thank you so very much Pax. I appreciate your visit and nice comments

[Ladysue]

Will this is a beautiful poem. As I read each verse my smile became wider and I didn’t want the poem to end.This was pure bliss. Vivid images and a strong powerful ending. Love this..

[willweb]

Thank you so very much Ladysue. I am happy you enjoyed this. I am thrilled it made you smile

I love this piece! Such a beautifully visual poem. Every time I read one of your poems, I am always inspired. I specifically really like the last stanza! Such a nice way to wrap of the poem. Amazing work as always!

[willweb]

Thank you so much for always being so kind to me. I appreciate your comments.

[Chris Shaw]

If only. That is the place dreams are made of. It sounds blissful and I want to be there. Fabulous description here of clouds and the natural environment. You have penned a gem here will. Congratulations.

Thanks so very much Chris. I appreciate you my friend.

I truely loved this one Will. It made me feel a child again, and I haven't felt like that for a long time. You have a such a poetic way with words that strikes at the heart of what I call art. It brings back emotions and feelings that otherwise have been long buried.

[willweb]

Wow Soren, thank you for these kind words about my poem. I am thrilled this one touched you like it did.

[Re-Pete]

such a beautiful, reassuring write punctuated by a strong ending. you've used some great words to capture the essence of believing. the words and images float off the page. good stuff for sure. well done as usual. much enjoyed ... :)

[willweb]

Thanks so much Pete. I appreciate your visit

St. Paul said faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. In a more sensuous and rhymed way, I believe you have said the same thing.

[willweb]

Thank so much John. What a nice thing to say.
