Gentle Calm

Beyond past shadows a dream
Covered with a veil of butterflies
Drenched from rain of rainbow's colours
The blisters are many, feet so small seems

The winds have passed, the memories return
From the cool to the chill, seasons of sun
Wanting to be touched, of love, so real
Besides a silhouette, so sad, so frail

Utters not, gently accepting, calm
The stars, vigilant, as moons re-appear
Sounds of owls, fronds of palm
Begging to be held, taken from fear

Each fall, another attempt to stand
Each bruise, calling for comprehend
He wonders, once again, how silent
Seeking his gentle calm, one more moment.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

Daniel...I really enjoyed this poem and its flow. It can have many different meanings, but I look at it as one being sad because of the past and then finding inner peice and happiness in their later years...Paul

"Each fall, another attempt to stand
Each bruise, calling for comprehend"

These words especially touched me.

And the imagery here,  
"butterflies Drenched from rain of rainbow's colours" is unique, and beautiful.

"butterflies Drenched from rain of rainbow's colours"  What a beautiful line Daniel.  Well done.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...
