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

          Beautiful imagery throughout. “Calm knows no contradiction” and the childhood stanza both stood out to me — they carry a quiet sense of peace that lingers.
