Serenity #1 (fourth edit)

"Serenity #1" (fourth edit)
 

Whisper,

of places in your loving heart.

Naked,

against your dearest promises.

Wounded,

sensation of fresh heartache.

Benediction,

washes hope into healing.

Ceasing,

attempts to direct the uncontrollable.

Slowly,

flowing freedom from this

OBSTINATE

opposing will.

Opposing will

Cat, such a deep and questioning poem. But you do have to listen to the whispers, promises and healing they will always be there no matter how obstinate you may be in opposing them. lol. Loved the poem. Keith
