came to rest…

The Bird by ~invisiblewl on deviantART
nestled warmly
in between
my feather beds
and comforters
it occurred to me
that there is no place
i would rather be
than right here
right now
doing just
what i am doing
such revelation
brought with it
a calm
a feeling of
belonging
a sense that
all was as it should be
and the caged bird
that has been
beating furiously
in my heart
for weeks
finally
came to rest…

…and hopefully that bird is singing now.
What a welcome feeling, of being in that much comfort in the life bed you have made.
You write from the heart, and it shows.
Beautiful….
What an amazing poem. A great sentiment too. I’ve had moments like that where you realize that all is as it should be. That you are in touch with the very breath of the Universe. There is such comfort in that.
There is such peace in this poem! And it flows so smoothly, too!
Your poem captures a feeling that is seldom easy to describe. Excellent !
There is nothing like that feeling. It is pure serenity!
Just be! Neither memories nor yearnings for what may be can ever please more than the contentment of just being!
Good capture! It exudes acceptance, peace and knowledge. Love it!
Well, I thought you said you had lost your creativity. . . well this beautiful poem certainly does not give credibiltiy to that statement.
This is one of the most beautiful, creative poems I’ve ever read. And the meaning of holds nothing but truth. Hold on to that truth….it shall always bring you comfort, as this poem has brought to me. PLL, C.
This is exactly how I feel…so good to be back home again!
This is how I feel right now. Sigh! Sometimes that emotion is a long time coming.
