Night stirs, stars surging
in the hushed & vigorous
darkness.
That void, ambient
in its design, holds artistry
and grace. Stars burst through veil
and shadow,
highlighting an ebony spire,
whose apex threatens
with beauty beyond
comprehension.
Their juxtaposition, a dance,
of heat and light and dark.
a poem inspired by Van Gogh's A Starry Night
James Rives Apr 2019
A water bottle perched
on a desk, cluttered
with papers. Old writing,
portfolios of work half-forgotten.
A hand grips the bottle,
untwists the cap,
sips. Right now,
her words
are her only friend.

In a “wise passiveness“ I sit
Able to conquer any fit.
Wounded is my melancholy
When he meets his deft enemies
My Serenity, and Spirit
Oskar Erikson Apr 2019
peace comes in packages we sometimes can't find strength to open

peace comes in millstones we can sometimes release ourselves from

peace comes through doors we open
and sometimes reveals itself
once we shut and bar some from entering

peace came and laid down arms in the name of forgiveness

peace came and lasted

peace
Life can be beautiful
For those who seek beauty in themselves.
Your world is ultimately shaped by you,
So make yourself the beautiful you
That you are destined to be.

This is how we can all make the world

BEAUTIFUL.

Remember
The first time you saw each other
The first time you spoke
The first time you hugged
The first time you laughed together.

Each happy moment
The laughter you shared
The joy that overflowed into happy tears
Rolling down your cheeks.

The adventures
And all the stories within your heart
Are now yours to share.


Your playfulness
And how you danced through life's challenges
Agreeing, disagreeing, finding solutins
Gems of wisdom
And the Silver lining amidst the clouds.

Feel and hear when it was good.
Allow all the unresolved pain
Embrace it with gratitude
See, listen, feel, taste, smell...

Your hearts responses
To the love between you.

Take comfort in bliss.
Remembering the sensations of peace.

Together
Spirit to Spirit
Mind to mind
Heart to Heart
Forever as One.

Embracing Love
Those comforting feelings
Healing your pain.
Forever together
In each other's hearts.

Your Heart Mind Remembers
This embrace.

Do you feel the Love?
Oh, Sweet Mercy!
The Peace.
Record and listen to during meditations.  It teaches now to use the love we felt for someone who has passed to help heal our longing, our grieving, our pain, and unresolved challenges in life. This process moves one from grieving to mourning, to sweet sorrow, a deeper understanding and on to obtain a measure of serenity and peace. This process helps open the door to much deeper Spirituality in life and love.

Tranquil Aura

I did not find peace
I found passion
I am my own eclectic picture

And on gloomy days this is where
I find most peace
Contentment at its best in still skies
Quite clouds glide cooly through
A gray space enough to comfort tyranny's aftermath
A soft call echoes and flies off
Carrying away any worries
Though briefly, still appreciated
I am at peace

My heart desired tranquility
Some seeked  it in sacred places
For some like I, in solitude
I, in still air, left in awe by a summer day

For days when I
Feel..
It seems to be stuck in my mind
Tapping away at my conscience
With no way to escape
Trapped in the metal bars of my prison for thoughts with no freedom in sight
I sit and let the feeling consume my mind
But only this place sets me Free.

This place keeps a memoir of
Moods and madness
Enmity hidden within a pleasing smile..
"I was alone?"

I guess
I prefer to stand here
Alone...
Cold...
And draw pictures in the condensation
Gathered from my steaming breath
My melancholy is my older friend

In a rare moment of serenity
Its where I suddenly find myself
I've taken myself to a secluded place
It is where I feel alive..
I don't just become a Ghost With A Beating Heart
Imprisoned I was not
Within still loud silence, filled with dread
I quickly gasped for air
I think I've found my perfect world
It has unlocked my free abyss

Only a few understand this forth door
But this place has unlocked it.
My tranquil Aura.
Because of poetic justice, that is a mystical poem
Druzzayne Rika Mar 2019
A picture of serenity
a reflection of divinity
a clear sense
beneath blue sky
as the birds dive
take a flight high
a space in matter
a few words in a letter
a nervous energy
fizzles out
gather and revolve
a freedom so poised
all fall in right places
the nature blooms
to the elegance
inspiring a change
that spirals to a pleasant vision
