Somnolent Calm

gentle waves of briny kindness
soothing touch in sleepy state
listen to the wash of water
kissing shingle on the beach
calming on a drift to dreamland
to a place of peaceful thoughts
caught in trance like lilting rhythm
soon all stresses dissipate
as do mists that veil the river
burned away by morning sun
gone the fears unwelcome harming
nature’s healing will be done
turn to Gaia earthly Goddess
with the hassles of the day
rest upon a soft cloud pillow
close those eyes and float away

Dear Chris...this piece is so meditative...every word is calming. soothing, mesmerizing...I like the way you sneaked in Gaia, the earthly Goddess...I think I'll close my eyes and float away...on a cloud...the end of all my fears!! Lovely
Warmly, B
