Tranquility
Like diamonds that shine on glaciers
Or sapphires sailing in the sky…
I hear the sound of silence
Without waiting for an answer.
I don’t need an answer
To questions never asked.
I just wait…and listen…
In the stillness I enjoy,
Like a creature of deep luxury
Without much need to fill…
A winged being just swinging
We have high hill and no wind.
It comes to me in waves of silk,
This feeling of relaxation
Of everything that seems so immediate,
I am just a creation
Of what lives and breathes alone
However, it is part of everything around,
A spiritual force of energy
Wrapped in lack of sound.
Buffered from noise and stress
of what is imposed,
My inner source joins like
The bud becomes a rose.
Shimmering in the shimmering waves
Embracing what I am…
A moment of such a rainbow hue
Over my distant sea…
Signing, though silent,
As my wings now feel the breeze
that seeps through the atmosphere
To free my being…
And welcome you to distant lands
Where the climate is soft and mild,
And I… the one who patiently waits…
Become the newborn child.
Something to consider… or not
Don’t insist that he loves you forever…
A fatal flaw indeed.
But if you offer those tender words…
It’s all very nice, really.
However… “forever” is an awfully long time.
And I question its use at all.
If I were the boy in question,
I would find enough reasons to stagnate.
why not just appreciate
The here… the now… as best.
Because if you demand that he sign in blood
To prove that you have passed “the Test”.
You may just keep their signature.
On a blank sheet
And then, my dear, who is responsible?
You just have to thank yourself.
I don’t want to sound cynical
Or spread a sudden alarm…
But your insistence on a promise
It could cause less good than harm.
And while you’re at it, consider this:
Will he change his ways for you?
Another fatal flaw, my sweet,
It is best to adjust your view.
Do you care enough about this fine young man?
Accept it for what it is?
Or did you plan to reform the cad
With your own black magic… great!
I must remind you one more time
That such a change is self-induced
And might I ask, while we’re at it,
Have your strange ways shrunk?
Each of us is a person…
A person in his own right.
And before you decide to remodel,
Don’t overestimate your sights.
And yet…if chemistry and love and opportunity
Meet in time…
So hurray for Eternal Love
And ignore this silly rhyme!
