I know this Place

Katie B.

                                                             I Know this Place

 

I crave compassion that rains

With fervor and swells

Mother earth

That serves and is served

 

I yearn for peace like

Paths of righteousness

Where stillness knows silence

And calm knows no contradiction

 

I delight in the innocence of childhood

That runs from dawn to dusk

Playing in the plush, green, grass

Knowing home is an unquestionable vessel of love

 

I desire love

Eternally blissful

 Committed, holding fast to the fence post

With melded heartfelt kisses

 

I rejoice in the suppression of misery

What lifts the lights for the lowly

And lessens insidious sorrow

 

I know this place
