The StillnessThere's no resting now for the wicked, Or so the old adages say I must have committed a murderous crime To remain wide awake in this way My thoughts soon befall to your gifting Your friendship, your words and your art And how in but few and such settling sunsets Your warmth has uncovered my heart So many events yet unspoken Of all that our lives have entailed But no hurry is felt in tonight's wandering thoughts As I savor each morsel unveiled And with now drowsy sighs of our sharing My eyes seem to know how to close I just needed to ease them with visions of you And the stillness that loving you knows.

Claire~ So lovely. 'But no hurry is felt in tonight's wandering thoughts' The wonder is where your thoughts did wander. Beautiful. ~*Marge* ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
