A blessed day to all of you!
I have here today poetic entry number 82 for you Steemians to enjoy.
Admittedly, I have not written a poem or even posted one here since...
Christmas day of 2018.
267 days since then and well... here I am posting another one.
This one took a long, long time to write...
so I really do hope you give it a read, an upvote, and leave a comment.
Ancient Journey - The Matching Piece
Good Morning
to the search for the matching piece
as the dawn breaks over the horizon
crawling into your soul's shadowed valleys
dream-laden muscles excavate you from slumber's embrace
arise in the vine-woven hammock
to the beat of a rested heart's rallies.
A cold forest floor greets your feet once more
blurred vision focuses sluggishly in the distance
the heat of the day reveals itself in the shade
heart's hinge like doors on a frame with no face
persistence betrays the old feverish rust
while each step towards love is a silent crusade.
Good Afternoon
to the meal for the body that got us this far
tired shadows tucked in under their source
while cold rivers busily rush somewhere removed
and soreness comes to visit and claims its' place
coarse are the hands that still climb
the mountains reach into the sky unmoved.
A blessing to the rivers for a chilled drink
sights unseen from whence they came
a passing whisper says forward is the way
to sprint now would betray your heart's pace
tame is a mind that's calm in the flurry
strong is a heart that gives not into dismay.
Good Evening
to the shadows that had their fill of rest
tired souls already grasping at a fresh start tomorrow
others will press onward in the age old search
where a story of success will fill hope's empty space
undertow of despair wears down the hinges for many
daylight fades quickly now while Sun seeks horizon's perch.
A smile at the Sunset and nature's colourful symphony in the sky
clouds morph and drift indifferent as we toil at day's end
tempted by a brisk breeze to break from exploring
abandoned time irretrievable and lost without a trace
tend to your wounds onward into a quiet dusk
imagining who it is that fits into every coming morning.
Good Night
to today and all of you who found the strength to try
soul-mates where ever they may be under the stars
may this ancient journey bring you to a fulfilling conclusion
and stories full of warmth to retell by the fireplace
scars faded into obscurity next to a soul that fits
a calm so comforting in the absence of exclusion.
A greeting to the place where you rest your head at night
tired eyes seek the illusion of dreams in the dark
whether found or not for a moment your worries cease
tired body tumbles back toward slumber's reembrace
embark for the shore of another happy chapter
because the search ongoing or over brings the mind peace
Thank you to all who gave it a read.
Hopefully you'll leave a comment. :)
Cheers, and may the search be in your favour.
