Peace by Alison McKenzieMy pulse decelerates.
My breath is drawn and expelled
In longer, more rhythmic measures.
I can feel the world slow to a steady pulse
As I slip into my new gown,
Cobalt blues tranquility
Gliding smoothly toward destinys shore
Where a rose waits.
Do I dream it or live it?
Beauty of irrelevance
In finding my essence there;
Walls of peace and joy
In quiet patience resting
Before the assembly;
Fates manifestation of
Our blended intentions -
Life,
Love and
All that is -
Finding my niche,
Finding my pace,
Floating into eternitys current
On the trade winds of peace
Whispering sweetly of my hearts desire.

Posted by Steven Kenworthy on 12/01/06 at 01:29 AM ooh this is a sweet little delicious delicacy. this reads like a dream come true with nice touches of reality wiggled in. very float on clouds'ish. i like how it feels like i'm in a hospital bed thinking hard about heaven when i read it. very intense. smart & well-directed. |
