Bring to me lavender whispers
In cups of soothing warm tea
Over the dreamy purple fields
Lift my spirit above the acorn trees
Into that force within that pulls on the light
Cutting all the tethered strings
Used to restrain my windblown mind
Lift up my heart that it may fly
With eyes that have been dried
Of all but its happy tears
Give my peace a new revelation
That no earthly hand has power
Let these new wings take an uplifting new breeze
Carry me over yonder Troubled Mountains
To rest my wings in a new state of relaxed mind
Wet my feet in streams of colorful Koi
Feed me with that which is food for a god
Fill my belly with grasshoppers and honey
Quench my thirst with women and song
Ferment my wine out of grapes of knowledge
When I walk on the far banks of the river side
No stone will cut or bruise my being
I will not look back on this life
To see no farther than the welcomed end.

- Comment from author about the poem: In my mind of lavender I dream of a purple coat and in that coat stands the end; that we all dream of. No! Not really, just the puzzle of beautiful thoughts from a lavender mind. BWA... James...

A beautiful lavender mind. Well done.
Thanks for the comment. BWP... Short for BrokenWordsPoet which is a name I have had since 2009. BWP... James... Thanks again..
what a lovely poem or should I say what lovely poems! what a great job writing two poems in one and the images are so vivid and wonderful! I wish there was a higher rating than a 10 for a poem like this one!
Thank you Bonnie, This was written after I listened to a video of a meditation session and hearing a chant. I just love the flow of that chant and the structure of speaking then following up each thought until a deep meditate is reached. BWP... James... I have done some editing here; you know the mistakes that slip through.
