A Peace Beyond Comments

Beautifully mysterious and heartfelt 😀

Such a beautiful, heart-sick lullaby as I've never read before. It's so classic I'd expect to open up any poetry anthology and find it there on the first pages. Truly awesome. And the opacity just adds even more to the majesty.

Yeah laurie I really like this a lot. Can I recite it at one of the venues I go to.-10

You are a talented wordsmith Laurie... I like the mystery in this piece 10 plussssssssss Tracy

But if i hear the sobbing, from the shadows that pursue me and the voice that calls me softly, calls my name. Then I must turn and answer, tell the reason for my leaving, tell her gently that it's me, not her, to blame. ..................... wowwww, this is a stunning write, Laurie...oh, i think, i will be your regular reader now.. Love this piece..

Hauntingly mysterious Laurie. Nice work.10+

It is helpful to read all the comments. They express my feelings a lot better than I can and help me see a lot more than I do at first reading.

a vision of hope in acceptance

yeah there is an mystique element here Sir! ! ! .... I like these lines.. sort of moving too... keep me interested and mesmerized through out! ! ! 10++ with love shan

The others say it all. I particularly love the unusual rhythm, which feels effortless. Great stuff.

I really like the unusual form of this poem. It has a fast-paced gothic feel about it that puts me in mind of Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Raven'. This is tempered by the closing line which is heartfelt and beautiful. An atmospheric, emotional roller-coaster of a poem, and I love it! ! S :)

Love the layout, love the contents. A lovely meaningful poem and a delight to read. Very moving words that hit straight to the heart. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

There is great mastery of form in this soulful piece about love and loss and transformation. I sense there might be a long and complicated story behind your words, which intrigue and leave a soft taste. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

A certain sadness in the inevitable, but written so beautifully and stated so well, filled with heart

This has quiet acceptance for what comes to us all, sort of a last statement of love before passing beyond without fear but thinking of the person left behind. Gentle mood leaving us to reflect. Glad to have found you....will dropp in more.- Cindy
