A Prompt of Peace

The quietude of black and diamond skies,
Soft, soughing breezes whisper subtle sighs.
In such serenity, the spirit tries
To conscience each Life's act and harm dispose.

A chapel bathed in Chatre's leaded tints
Dispells all wicked wishes and imprints
On mind and heart a purity that hints
A choice of path, its goal a sweet repose.

With this pure Trinity, the Path that's trod
Will gift, at Ending Time, a Peace with God.

    There is no better peace than know that our path will lead us to eternal peace with our God. This is a beautiful sonnetina. The imagery and alliteration is excellently penned.

    I think I will read some more of your poetry dear teacher friend of mine!

      Thank you for you kind words. I believe this was one of the last times I was on site. I took a serious fall, broke three vetebrae and ended in a wheelchair. So to read such a lovely comment was a surprising welcome. Thank you again. Mamad
