Whispering Willows

My Peace Has Been Restored

By Chelsie SpeerPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Walking through whispering willows, I dream;

Dream of a future home that awaits us.

Somewhere safe, somewhere untouched by the scheme.

My soul is tired but my heart holds trust.

Again, I find myself in your embrace;

Pondering all and none, and the divine.

Dusk sets as I caress your mossy face;

You connect me to your Maker and mine.

Eyes closed, I listen for your beating heart;

Found in the stream, purified and steadfast,

In voices of jays, perfecting their art,

In the fragrant wind sighing out the past.

My peace has been restored; I am thankful.

And await our next encounter fruitful.
