"Peace" of Thought

  And she sat with her pen and paper Watching cars that sped on by And the blackbirds sang in the trees that lie In the golden fields of the distant sky And she sat with her dreams about her Breathing crisp cool air that brought Breezes whispered were found and caught On her forehead as she kept her thoughts And she sat thinking through her memories Wondering where the time had gone Keeping rhythms slow and all sent along With tunes of golden times lie song And she sat looking through the sunlit clouds Holding her breath and listening to soul Her words spilled out like fires glowing coal The ink on paper took its toll And she came out from dark long shadows Through steady lines she sold Breaking barriers and finding white gold Her truths to others now she told And she sat with her pen and paper Watching cars that sped on by And the blackbirds sang in the trees that lie In the golden fields of the distant sky CNK

  And the shade is made A tool to cool Hiding from the sum Of rays to come And the light in sight From woes it grows Adding lines to signs Of passing time And the leaves they weave The darkness parks On ground that's sound Of shadows found And it sneaks a peek Keeping love above On green that's been Of places seen An the shade is made A tool to cool Hiding from the sum Of rays to come CNK

Lakeside lovely looming Storm clouds gather there Spelling thunder, dark as dungeon Lightning through the air White wind waking wonder In waves that swirl and churn White caps cold as icebergs Crashing as they learn  Sea sand soaked in silence Each grain sits on its own Forming dark shores in the distance But never lie alone The rain rescues raving ripples Creating rounded holes White reflects on top black depths Seeking underwater souls Clearing clouds colliding Through cracks faint lights arise And slowly spreads like sparks from fire Lifting seas of soaked disguise CNK

And the breeze, it took me closer To the corners of my mind Where thoughts had finally settled The bleakness left behind. And the rain, it cooled my quiet soul The raindrops felt like sand With every grain united Where the oceans meet the land And the sun, it blazed upon my skin The heat made all things one For every ray shone down to join With nothing left undone  And the days seemed not to linger The nights both quick yet slow With all things found between those realms Where all things come and go CNK
