Sometimes you just need sanctuary...


Poem Artwork

I’ve been far too long
in the wildwood,
stumbling in the brambles
with blackberry-stained fingers
and thorn-scratched skin

I need a soft place to land
in the lee of someone’s arms
The texture of cool, green grass
The colors of blue water
and liquid sun

I love your metapors. So much room for the reader's imagination to roam. I love that you keep it short and simple. My kind of poet. :)

And thank you so much for your kind words on my outpourings.

Linda,
Longing and lullaby, this is mental melting chocolate but not at all sickly sweet. Gorgeous!

Your descriptive lines here are perfect and not only origianal but so real that the reader wants to say: "Come let me comfort you and rest gentley until you are strong enough to continue life's journey."
