Reaching for the Peace again

Yes, ‘tis I, reaching for the peace again
That would somehow release again
An air of sweetest ease, and then,
I am reaching for that piece again

That piece that would play the air just so
A bit of Celtic breeze that glows
Around my knees, that bids me go
To dance that peace to please me so

So take my hand and come with me
Where piece of peace leaves us to be
One as one-to-one we’ve won our find
A bit of peace, pieced just fine.

Soon, too soon, the peace shall leave
Then, forsaken, you may grieve,
But in your memory, dance with ease
As you recall your glance of peace.

Lovely way to enjoy my morning coffee.

Kari darling sister of the soul, I love this utterly. You knew I’d say that

Reach within to where you be
There the peace waits to see
Piece of calm in your heart
Never to once more depart
Pieces of peace will flow to you
Stay your whole life through
Piece of peace feel it’s calm
In your soul anointing balm

This truly is incredibly fabulous writing

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Beautiful Karilea, with such a wonderful peaceful flow. Well done!!

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

(sigh) Oooohhhhhh...I love it, sweet friend, I always love how your words are so whimsical and feel like they're swaying like the Celtic breeze as I read down the page, this is soooooo beautifully bittersweet! (sigh) May we all look deep into our hearts and find what makes us happy and make peace within ourselves and to others! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

It is baffling how our peace of mind can be disturbed in the blink of an eye.
There is much to reflect upon here,
really nice work Sunshine.

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Ah but I felt your hand, yes I did! Doreen is right this is a song, and of course you are always singing love to everyone with your words.
