A certain wind
that beckons
from out of season's place...
Paradise
in blanket spread--
patterns of the leaves to trace.
Endless sky of summoning,
a hand of comfort over mine--
silent song among the trees,
the ceasing of relentless time.

All of this was given free--
simply, for I had the need.
A miracle begun in me--
the change of water into wine.
And oh if I could make you see,
you'd know you are a gift divine.
I'd do for you,
what you did for me--
make nightmare of your memories,
each tear, a star, forever shine...

serenity.....
             "Each tear, a star, forever shine..."   You know that this is a beautiful poem, don't you?? I love poetry that includes nature, and this does it so well.  Very nice writing, my friend......


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

Serenity this poem does not shine nor dazzle it absolutely blinds the reader with its brilliance.

Serenity~

'A certain wind
that beckons
from out of season's place...
Paradise
in blanket spread--
patterns of the leaves to trace.
Endless sky of summoning,
a hand of comfort over mine--
silent song among the trees,
the ceasing of relentless time.'


... and we call thy name Serenity
