Balm for the soul...

Thou art the skies, my vast ocean,

        sanctuary

 in the night's pitch dark

  quietude like the flutter

               of butterfly wings

 roar of the sea when need be,

wildflowers of my bloom

            in wanton prayer,

     envelops solitude's endearment

   balm for the soul,

                    a dance within spirit

frivolous enjoyment

                    of shared laughter,

   satisfaction

              in the hours of stillness,

surrendering  

 anticipation's expectations,

 lifted to a higher plane

            of Utopian gratification

      centering 

                                my euphoric quest

The poem is amazing and beautiful. It felt like silence prayer and thoughts. I like the places and thoughts I was able to feel from the very good description. Thank you dear friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Words and warm thoughts heal our souls as they land on our eyelids and touch our lips.
Beautiful Frieda, your poem is lovely.

This is such a beautiful poem, although I read in a love story straight away, I soon turned to an almost mystical spiritual journey to the center of the soul, somehow you can approach this from so many directions and still find what your looking for, incredible Frieda, in fact you are an incredible poet Frieda

[Frieda P]

You've humbled me with your kind words my poetic friend, truly, thank you so much.

[R Smith]

"Sanctuary in the night's pitch dark"- yes it is Freida.. it is the only way our wounded souls get healed. The soothing balm to us.It touched me Freida to the very core of my soul. The satisfaction when we pen down something is heavenly.. wow Freida. I just can't find words to explain this feeling. Thank you so much

Wow you gave me goosebumps Sophy, thrilled you 'felt' this one!

[Rene Salinas]

At ease and that is not the milatary order rather the mood which is most commonly known in italian by the term Adagio. At ease then there are times when reflection needs to take over in order for closure to come about. It is important to try at least for me so the beggining of a new experience is allowed to flourish or as Frieda so aptly puts it: in wanton prayer, envelops solitude's endearment. It seems like a goodbye of sorts a very tender one fully loaded with emotions that revel in fragility as the situations requires it.

This needs careful handling

There is a vibrant amount of sincere respect in your words

Thankyou

[Frieda P]

I love your insight Rene, and I wasn't aware that's where the term Adagio came from even though I'm Italian, learn something new every day, thanks so much for your sweet sentiments.
