I Know This Place

Katie B.

                                                            

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

    Katie, reading this felt like touching that place we all recognize but can’t always hold onto… that sense of peace, love, and belonging that feels true even when it’s distant. The way you name it without forcing it makes it resonate. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
