My Saving Grace

Missing image

Trimming words of

hopeful wisdom

 

craving exploration

of retraced steps,

 

clouds collide (existing in my mind)

creating

a thunderstorm of

thoughts

 

dictionary disciple

sits nearby –

just in case needed

 

abandoned thoughts

scratched on paper –

            tossed

 

underneath mysteries –

stories spill

from practical to

fictional – all containing

one key ingredient of

the poet

     

     ~*heart and soul*~

 

my room of four walls,

safe haven of retreat

wrap your arms of safety

around me and allow me

this –

 

my saving grace

            of ink spilled

-tranquility

    there really is some great use of poetic device in this piece - as noted below by Tim, the alliteration of "dictionary disciple".

    The last thought this leaves us with is something I think so many of us on this site can imagine themselves in being the same -- breathing poetry in that tranquility.

    a lovely write indeed... thanks for entering.

    This was a breath of beauty without boundary.
    "dictionary disciple" Great alliterative phrase.
    This really says a lot about the poetic soul.

    And this poem shows your passion!
    Awesome, so glad we stumbled upon eachother!
    The only thing I'd change would be the ~*...
    I think it takes away from the depth
    the fact that it's already it's own line
    accentuates it eneough.
    peace to all ~flight
