A Peace Beyond Poem by Laurie hill
A Peace Beyond
I know beyond the darkness, there's a candle flame that flickers and the darkness is a mantle on my soul.
I know beyond the darkness, there's a peace that yet evades me as the reaper waits in silence for his toll.
But if i hear the sobbing, from the shadows that pursue me and the voice that calls me softly, calls my name.
Then I must turn and answer, tell the reason for my leaving,
tell her gently that it's me, not her, to blame.
A hautingly beautiful poem that really touched me deeply. I loved your devoted imagery, and enjoyed it greatly.
Exquisite, poignant, haunting, intriguing... leaves the reader pondering, wondering, wanting more...
I love the way this is written...like long, languid brush strokes that paint a vivid scene...wonderful
This is lovely, your kind comments to me have led me to your work and I really enjoyed this poem its haunting poignant flow makes me want to read more and I will.Thank you Kind regards Ann
Such a beautiful, heart-sick lullaby as I've never read before. It's so classic I'd expect to open up any poetry anthology and find it there on the first pages. Truly awesome. And the opacity just adds even more to the majesty.
Yeah laurie I really like this a lot. Can I recite it at one of the venues I go to.-10
