Tranquility



picture credit:  




I wish I could merge with the shadows of the trees,
to observe undetected the day progress
‘til the heavens lay a glittering quilt of dreams
‘cross the undying infinite sky.
And I dream of traveling on the scent of blooms,
dipping and dancing through faraway meadows
while tickling the wings of butterflies
before coming to rest on the polished-glass surface of a blue cold lake.
Slowly I'd sink through the shimmering layers,
as visions of beauty imbue a parade
on my fragile and thirsty soul…

  7. Some poems make you live within them. It's a differentiated talent.
    Always a delight to read such amazing works!

  8. Why wish? Why not simply be what you describe as your desire. I know you can do it, float effortlessly through the depths of you as you see your changing you's.
