PEACE

My world was dark, then there was light,
the grey in between wasn’t heaven’s delight
but surpassing it all is the peace I now feel,
surrounding and holding as mist I can’t see.

I breathe of its freshness, feeling of wetness,
my lungs overfill but I’m loath to exhale.
I hold it inside till it gets in my blood and
slowly it creeps through all of my bones.

Feeling light as a feather, a helium balloon,
my spirits lift up, seem to fly to the moon.
My gait is unchanged, my eyes are still blue,
I smile and I frown and weigh still the same.

So where did it go, that weightless deep mist
that sits in my heart and swirls in my mind?
Maybe it walked sure and firm in its step
straight to my soul on need’s carpet of red.

True to my form I’ll play hostess of note,
my name might appear in “places to dine”.
I’ll cuddle and coddle and be so polite
but if that doesn’t work, I’ll hit it for nine!

Passions' guardian dragon
Moves with the rhymes' flow.

Though my body be
Human, my heart and soul be
That of a dragon.

Thank you, Marge.  I am indeed having a wonderful journey although sometimes waves of emotion threaten stability.  However, the joy of reading the poetry makes up for it.  Thanks again.
