Emerging from where
darkness collects,
Gloomy drapes hem in
temporary moods.
Swathes of lacy veil
twitch in the soft air,
Windows wide open
embracing another day.
Exchanging the dusts and
stresses of angst,
As optimism settles on
this new inviting abode.
Between a dawning of
heavenly contentment,
And, the setting dusk of
this renewed fulfilment.
Perspectives return more
pleasant possibilities,
Those bleak notes of
threnodic composition fade.
Revived spirits hearken to
melodies of jazzy hues,
Feeling good sends ripples
from head to tiny toes.
Music applies an emollient
to repair broken hopes,
It draws in and relaxes
nervous and isolated spirits.
Breathing at ease and without
woes strangling life,
Overtures smile at this
juncture of melodic welcome.

Shattered hopes and broken wings can indeed be mended with love and care.
ReplyDeleteit's lovely when 'optimism settles' and there's contentment, fulfilment, playing of pleasant notes all around...a lovely feel good poem Eileen :)
ReplyDeleteby the way, i thought i would find this poem on Poetry Pantry link but it showed your Midweek Motif poem 'Sustaining Energies' there ...you might check that out...
I can really feel the optimism in this poem, Eileen. Feeling good does indeed send ripple from head to toes. I think sometimes a lot of mood stuff is governed by the weather. When we have sun and warmth & the world outside is green, well I feel so much better. The good feelings are indeed welcome, no matter why they arrive. Smiles. Enjoyed this poem greatly.
ReplyDeleteAlways great to be good, to be hopeful and to be content. Thanks for this nice piece.
