I will leave you the peace in my soul
that will find you in the love of my heart
for I will leave you the memories shared
whether joyous dancing on the stage of life
or sadness fading in the shadows of day
for life has woven me a colorful garment
with silver threads of nature’s wisdom
that has hollowed out a place for you
where warm you will be in the sun’s embrace
followed by the path of a starlit moon
within which voices will sing in stardust
to lull you to sleep at the end of each day
where always you will wake to bird song
within which you will hear my voice true
giving you the peace within my soul
surrounded by the love within my heart

Yes, this is how I interpreted the prompt you gave. I have been rather busy as late looking for another apartment and packing so I do apologize for not referencing the prompt with my poem. Be well.

Thank you so much Claudia and so happy to see you once again. No worries that you are unable to visit but once in awhile. People have busy lives and can’t always be perusing the Blog internet sites. I, for one, have not posted in some time now as the people that bought the property where I live raised the rent substantially and I began looking in January for another apartment. Since then I have been getting rid of things….again….and packing everything up. We will sign a lease on the 26th and be all moved in by the 31st, Third time in 3yrs and I am hoping this will be a place to stay for some years more. Moving, as you know, is a wearing task. Hope you are well and your family also. 🙂

Happy Easter Renee, and good luck with your move my friend.. Many thanks for your recent visit, I hope you find someone to help with all of that heavy lifting.. Do not over do things yourself..
I am feeling brighter, though I wish I could say the same for the weather we awoke to 2 cms of snow again this morning Easter Monday.. Never mind, its not set to last as it should turn to rain later today..
Take care and Much love Renee .. xxx
