Peace Filled Mind

I reach out to the clouds
looking for a vision
touching softness of day
letting harmony grow

No matter the harshness
of a world in turmoil
with anger and hatred
my heart feels tenderness

Read words that touch the soul
with visions of sweetness
written from deep within
from the muse of poets

I feel the gentle winds
caress my burning flesh
suddenly skies darken
the velvet night descends

Searching the star-filled skies
hoping other eyes see
eternal universe
sharing the moons’ fullness

The heart will ever be
existing love to share
offering perfect truth
from now known peace filled mind

Karen I think this is one of the finest poems I have read here,I particularly like these lines-
"Read words that touch the soul
with visions of sweetness
written from deep within
from the muse of poets'
to me that says it all about the sometimes cathartic experience of writing poetry.
This is beautiful stuff and deserves highest praise.
Thanks for posting it Karen.
Cheers

The peacefulness you write of comes across in such a gentle way.  

Your presence of mind is quite soothing to read and surround ones self with.

some would say you are 'star-struck' my friend.
I would say you're just a caring, feeling, loving individual...

well done.
