A Welcome Relief. Poem by Fay Slimm

A Welcome Relief.

Rating: 5.0


Patterns of drifting emotional stress
Caught at my heart, and, darkly disturbing
My mind, began winding through oppressive
Waves of distress. Defences fell, - fervent
Hopes of soothing love, sent carefully by
Healing hands, at last successfully landed.
Now health appears again. Relief unties
A balm to troubled minds, unchaining grand
Appeasement. I can now lie and sleep consoled.
My loved one rests, the crisis almost passed
While I, releasing a sigh, feel again whole.
Now I breathe composure and peace at last.
