Fleeting Solace
a poem inspired by gentleness of living
In the depths of my mind,
I seek solace divine,
A fleeting moment of peace,
A respite from the grind.
The world outside is chaos,
A never-ending race,
But in my heart, I find a place,
Where I can slow my pace.
The gentle breeze, the rustling leaves,
The chirping birds, the buzzing bees,
All come together in harmony,
To offer me a moment of serenity.
The worries of the day,
The fears that hold me at bay,
All fade away in this moment,
As I bask in nature’s enchantment.
But alas, this solace is fleeting,
As the world beckons me back,
But I hold on to this moment,
And carry it with me on my track.
For in this moment of peace,
I find the strength to face the day,
And though it may be fleeting,
It gives me hope along the way.

Structures Rising
The latent lust sprinkles matters like moonbeams through a window barely whispering greetings. Structures know the melting of egos or the moment never lasts but form flutters a format for diplomats to rise again in heroes cloaks that they cannot wear because they're not allowed to. So, inference is a bargain in ideals. Torrent is a scream from the heart. Peace is in the window.
