Peaceful Beach

My blues are blurred,

In this sandy pink Caribbean dreamscape,

The melodically lapping aqua sea,

Promotes a temporary lapse,

In past or future obsessions.

God’s Presence surrounds…

Restores, uplifts, revives,

Pressure points melt away,

As pain subsides.

I am lost in a soothing, oceanic song,

Pounding, thrashing, crashing waves,

Brush up on pristine, picturesque shoreline.

My ear canals are blanketed in serenity,

As eardrums keep joyful beat,

To one steady, easy, hypnotic tone,

Leaving me in the pink!

This is nature’s rhythm…

Any day is a good day,

To take a mini soulful vaca,

Awashed in peaceful beach sounds.

Home Within

Wondering how before I’d functioned?

Once finding a place of in-destruction,

at home within myself.

So long ago my journey began,

An inward trek of love and mercy,

…at home within myself.

Knocking on my heart’s door, at first with trepidation,

Ms. Divine Feminine extended the warmest invitation,

…at home within myself.

Through my heart’s now open door,

God’s living Spirit breathes new life,

…at home within myself.

Relief, reprieve and soulful ease,

To my surprise did I achieved,

…at home within myself.

Of wonder and awe,

Did I unlock a sheltered timeless dwelling space?

...at home within myself.

One grand and epic residence!

Where pain and illness has no place,

…at home within myself.

For here only Love,

May show it’s tender face,

…finally, happily with peace, love, joy and serenity… at home within myself.

Poet’s Wish

Not a fighter wrestling,

With brawn,

But with emotions.

 

No world traveler,

Set on exploring exotic lands…

Instead discovering depth of feelings.

 

A gardener who prefers,

To sow seeds of hope,

And cultivate kindness,

 

Weeding out resentments,

Regrets and bad habits…

Goal, merely,

 

Harvesting World Peace.”

 Settling for,

 Humble poet’s…

 

“Serene Inner Plot.”

Kalinaw-serenity or tranquility

Your love is,

Like a,

Peaceful garden,

Where butterflies freely,

Stretch out their,

Fragile wings,

And rest their weary heads,

On a bed,

Of tranquility.

 

-Gilda Patricia

 

Kalinaw meaning serenity or tranquility
