Traveller’s Rest…

 
I bid thee good day, traveller
art thou sorely in need of a drink?
Doth thy bones feel tired and weary
craving a soft bed in which to sink?
Thy journey seemed fraught, endless,
a personal quest, a memory gone.
Please rest, sit and take repast
’tis a while since I aided anyone.
Hearth ‘n home I freely offer
a welcome to tarry ‘til daybreak
but a word to the wise I proffer
answer no knocks, for pity’s sake.
There be one who’s soul is restless,
she roams about in search of peace,
pray ignore her pleas and entreaties
LadyP will bend thy ear ‘n never cease.

this came to me last night,  sleepless, as a dreamscape, a story in a story.     I just enjoyed the darkness of it. xx

Light Choice…

 You see this lantern?
You see it’s light?
Look deeply and don’t turn away,
Only few are blessed to see this sight
now you are added to the list today.
Many have searched in lifelong quest
for The Light to guide their way
to repel the darkness at it’s behest
So, choose the light,
keep dark shadows at bay….

re-post, … for some reason I feel the need to shine a light this morning.
happy weekend to all.. xx

Moonlight…

 
A moonlit night,
showing face serene,
such majestic light, 
a silvery moonbeam,
cloudy shadows
drifting high,
a portrait
created
in the
evening sky.

Shadowy Thought…

 If
Death be a
constant shadow to
follow you from day one
since the first day of your life
’ til the last when your time is done.
Then surely best live in the knowledge
that each day is a gift not a chore, when
you close your eyes this night be thankful
for one day more. Yes,  If  Death be a constant
shadow to follow you from day one, ‘twould be
better to live in full sunlight, standing tall,
with all dark shadows gone….
