Round rooms of white
enlighten
images in mirrors reflection
revealing secrets held
in darker places.
Thoughts meet
gathering glimpses
into anothers mind
where it's almost as if
a spiritual rhapsody
is warming me
as I float free,

coming to rest
upon billowing pillows
cushioning me
in security,
no such thing
as falsity
exists
here in this place
where all things
pivot on trust

and so it is thus
that only to you
do I bare this truth;
this sacred view
in round rooms...

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

We all have our own poetic room to speak of and that is why there will always be a endless stream of poetry

We must bear truth!
Is that a poet's curse?

~encircled by thoughts that become words
we muse...then fuse our feelings together
into recognizeable shapes,
highlighting life's pathways~


I always enjoy viewing your thoughts.

If only all rooms were round rooms, but some would rather they not be such, sad yet splendid

Thank you for allowing us Pipsters into this very intimate room and beautiful room - for what is more beautiful or real or ultimately tranquil (though sometimes cruel, harsh and devastating en route) than truth?  I love your all of your poetry.

Thank you all, so much for stopping in!

Owl~ sweet lady you are far to kind to me, but I truly thank you. I wish there were more time for me to spend here at Pip!

Peace to all

Yes, Donna, I, too, wish you could be here more often.  Every time I see a Gentle Spirit poem I pounce on it like a cat pouncing on a grasshopper.

Donna, well-expressed, all poets should read this and keep it in their library.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
