Of My Serenity

Within a fire burning low
upon a meadow I have known
the ember’s spark that takes twilight
like fireflies into the night

All around in shadowed tell
the sound of crickets cast a spell
across the hill’s the sound respires
where moon has made her own empire

The inn with bed pine canopy
snuggled with just my sanity
this place brings indigo insight
into the searching of life’s fight

I go into the summer’s day
just knowing that at night I’ll lay
within the dream I build for me
the campfire of my serenity

Gentlemen, the women of this world are so far ahead of us, it's time to either evolve, or emigrate............

But a nice piece, Martie....thanks for bringing it back.

Oh cool... I should really read more of your work, Martie, 'cause for a minute I thought you were solid free-verse.  This is really nice work, the formatting didn't take anything away from your innate skill and talent, and the mastery with which your imagination becomes manifest in verse...

Just incredible work...

I love it when you rhyme.  This is truly beautiful, Martie.  I love it!  Hugs

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Martie,

Wonderful. I so enjoyed rereading it, it takes two to three not to understand but just the joy of breathing in the serenity woven.

Hugs, Pat
