Gladly will my heart surrender
At the closing of the day
When my eyes shall rest in slumber
Chasing sorrows fast away
Then to `bide in peace and silence
As the world soft fades from sight
Drifting into realms celestial
At the coming of the night
Yet the dark brings sweet redemption
With another day to dawn
When the light shall shine within me
So that I may be reborn
Floating high above in splendour
Where there is no thought of I
Nothing there will be my captor
As all fear shall pale and die
In the stillness of my being
So to seek the rising sun
With all worldliness transcended
Melding into all as one
Most beautiful read for today. Peace flows in heart with your words.
Val, in reading all of your new works there's an equanimity they speak and an awareness of how our lives merge with the infinite. It certainly is a positive view that transcends the worldly and as always is written beautifully. Dick Lackman
The end of the fight for earthly possessions is observed in the write-well penned
A very spiritual poem...such gentleness! Love reading it again and again.
Nicely written. One more beautiful read and thank you for it. G.
Some transcendental experiential dadaism. The physical journey into invisible being. The celestial realms. The impulse that weaves the texture and idiom of the poem is the actual continuum of thought and matter.
'Yet the dark brings sweet redemption...' and again ' nothing there will be my captor' wonderfully written ; inducing one to read it again & again. May I seek your views on my compositions 'Rebirth' and 'Cry of a Soul'.
