Recompense

There is a path of recompense
That sooths me to an ambience
Resting here my thoughts in find
That oft inoculates my mind

It is a path of inner turn
I walk when there is known concern
And though I do not touch the real
I find the spirit quite ideal

Its oil upon a choppy sea
Its light that cleaves the mist in me
It is a harbor of benign
It is a bed of pure resign

It plays for me a phantom knight
It stays the riggers of my plight
And here within my rocking chair
I’ve won the battle of declare

What better way to jump a fence
And earn a mental recompense

"mental recompense"...

gotta get me some of that.

this is playful and gentle and I always find your poetry soothing--

I think that YOU are my mental recompense.
