Vows of Peace

WL Schuett

take me down the path 

where mighty rivers roar 

where salvation is a fallacy 

shaken to its core 

 

send me to the peaceful beach 

and show me where to stand 

forget about the stars above 

and have me count the grains of sand 

 

show me where the echoes fade 

into the mists of time 

ringing out beyond the sea 

the bells of freedom chime 

 

move me to the valley floor 

from the snowy mountain peak 

to the forest of sensibilities 

where vaulted rainbows leak 

 

tell me about the dreams I have 

and how they'll never cease 

where recurring themes of love and truth 

whisper sacred vows of peace

    This is some masterful writing WL. Whoever taught you your craft of paint and pen, they can be very proud of you and your work. ; )

    • WL Schuett

      While I have many influences I am self taught in both and guitar making also . Thanks for a cool comment

      • Accidental Poet

        Guitar making too? I can only wish I had your talents. You are amazing WL. ; )

        The vows of peace is buried under the hot sand;
        The vows of peace is beneath the anger wave;
        The vows of peace is hidden inside the dead wood;
        The vows of peace is shining above the dark sky.
        The vows of peace will never cease.
        Beautiful poem with beautiful painting.

          Thanks M&M I think your comment is better than the poem

          • myself and me

            Your paint inspired it.

            WL, I am very impressed by both the painting and the poem. Love 'to the forest of sensibilities where vaulted rainbows leak'!
            Beautiful!

              Wonderful poem! I too was mesmerized by the "forget about the stars above...." line about the grains of sand. Well, it's all done really well. Great job!!

                  Super write, the last stanza is so meaningful.
