The Vision of My Moving Soul

O' compassionate Soul, seeker of profound calm in a dark room, your natural given resting place,
Bed of soft feathers inside holy kingdom, thou. The living driven grace in your silent poet's eyes,
Inside your lofty ancient heights - inside the easing of morning light, brightly shining upon my face -
Thou art distinctly lit in the shadows, bold where under the burden of the quill, a poet's heart sighs,

Candles flicker in your shy hints glancing, glowing back o'er my shoulder, moving your poet entranced,
Into sacred dance - a melancholy that steals us away in darkness where silent whispers own hand,
And I am enamoured with your flight, o' holy graceful Soul, clutching me tightly where raven's wings canst,
Secreting me away in your billowing, gentle winds, calming me in this world of softer graces you've planned.

"Into sacred dance - a melancholy that steals us away in darkness where silent whispers own hand,... "

-a pleasure alloyed with pain?
may it be, to enthrall or to convey..
still, foremost, is a magical display:)

..lol

Words can not express how moving that piece is; it breathes. Such a feeling of warmth and passion.

It embeds one within your soul!

It is beautiful

chronicliar75,

Well that was a catchy bit of unique phraseology, chronicliar75. And I might add it had all the earmarks of poetry found. A brief breath of fresh air.

Thank ye,

Thanks tommy boy! Your poetry is my sun!

I'm leaving tomorrow for my fishing trip so I might miss some of your posts but I'll catch back up when I return in a couple of weeks.

As always, be well, my friend!

As always, A beautiful write, coming from a compassionate soul. Thank you.

Tul,

I hope ye catch many fish and sit near a campfire in the evenings. Pack a tent and a firearm - against marauding bear. You'll be fine.

So much good. So much fun to be had. Talk again when ye return. Do so safely, Tul. Catch some fish. If I were there with ye I'd spend evenings writing by the fire - in the fire light.

Bittersweet in Merriam Webster dictionary means alloyed with pain.
And you have to admit Sir, that the line I quoted is truly enthralling..
I guess it was the way I phrase it, to make it sound more poetic..
haha..

Not willing yet to tackle 'catchy' stuff sir..lol
I'm just content to languish in your effective poetry:)

still and always will be a big fan

chronicliar75,

Good ol' Merriam Webster. A fine bedfellow. Ah, we know it well.

Thank ye, chronicliar75,
