~The Essence Of Within~


Raining of soft sounds
enveloping my spirit.
Tranquility reigns.~

Breathing in serene
calm prevails within my soul.
Lifes peaceful moments.~

Held in hushing thoughts
softly breathing harmony.
The essence of within.~



If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

I love your poem, but I hate the temptation they evoke in me to write of kicking kitties.  lol

Very sweet thoughts, Spirit.

This is very nice. By the time I read it the third time I found my breathing had slowed down, I was inhaling deeply and felt so at peace. Mmmmmmm.
Now I have to go take a nap before bedtime...

In other words this is terrific! I might print this out and read it every hour on the hour...

As far as constructive critisism, this happens to be quite perfect the way it is.

Enjoyed,
Pat

Donna
you are as soft as sand
rippled as time unfurls her feathers
you are as tranquil as falling water
making its own way - smoothing a ragged edge

Donna, this is so calming, soothing and gentle. Makes me want to crawl up on the couch with my puff and have a hot cup of tea.

Beautifully written ... Marti

Marti, today was a good day here for curling up with a cup of hot tea.  It was damp and cool.  Thanks for stopping in and reading my words.  Hugs.
