Where Will My Haven Be Poem by Valerie Dohren
Where Will My Haven Be
The world shall go on turning
Through the darkness of despair
As I, with seamless yearning, strive
To find a haven there
Set deep within the valleys
Or above the raging sea
In regions high and rarefied
Where will my haven be
Shall I search in flowered fields
Or the hillside strewn with gorse
Upon the rugged moors and heaths
In woodlands wild and coarse
Or is it set in pastures
Where the sheep and cattle graze
In peace and calm serenity
To while away their days
Will I find it on the shore
There amongst the whorl`ed shells
Between each wave that ebbs and flows
Or where Poseidon dwells
Searching in the wilderness
Through all days to seek and find
A place to rest and contemplate -
A cradle for my mind
For then shall I relinquish
All that binds and fetters me
Where I can dream in solitude
My spirit to set free
When reading your poetry I think of Bryon, Keats or Shelley, poets of the romantic era. After struggling with my envy, I must say- on P. H. it dosen't get any better then here. Don't stop
Perhaps that haven is a poets mind, brimmed to overflowing with calm and grace and beauty, that is forever showing and with a feather hand will always write and share a sanctury of knowing.
A powerful rendering from your golden plume ther' missy! I like this Val..It's deep and substanceful..Love this style of poetics..You Do Rock, ! And, I...after 38 hours without sleep, must retire to my chamberless chambers for at least some form of a catnap, as opposed to catnip...And I don't even own a cat, so how the 'ell am I gonna git' nipped by a cat in my chamberless chambers....Am I delerious or what? ..Convinced? Me too...nite-nite~FjR~
Lovely poem Val. Maybe the haven is in the words of this poem and their beautiful symbolism.
this is your very sweet poem with quality of a nice song.. love it
valerie, i like the cradle for my mind. i liked this one more than youth long lost (next poem) , but they both seemed a little bleak.....i mean they sounded like coming from an unsatisfied soul. i hope that is how you wanted them to sound. not that there is anything wrong with the subject matter; i've had similar feelings at times i suppose. thanks for sharing. bri
Such visions of these travels are dreams made of.What a smooth flow of thought, lovely poem Val
