Elusive

Deep in the forest
The labyrinth of my mind
Lays peaceful existence
Elusive to find

Contrite the soul wanders
In sorrow and pain
Mistakes unforgiving
Joy unattained

In the breath of a whisper
The universe turns
Entreat the Gods’ pardon
For words so unsure

Desecrate not
The grail of the collar
For within its hallowed hollow
Sacred peace is assured.

Simply sublime writing thrall. You have the gift of saying so much and creating vivid imagery with an economy of words. I think I'll call it poetic efficiency.

This and Galaxies are exquisite poems thanks for sharing them.

touched me deeply...as your words tend to do...

Very nice poetry.

You are just so enjoyable in so many ways.

"Poetic efficiency"...oh, that's a good way to say it, Sir G. :)

thrall, your words have such a deep and lasting impact.
