Lucas & Arthur Jussen- Poulenc Concerto For Two Pianos -Second Movement
soothing solace found
listening to two young brothers
playing a piano concerto
a chat with someone who
enjoys hearing from me
on the telephone
a smile from a stranger
comforting sweet comments
from blogger friends
and when i am sad a cuddle
with a ginger pussy cat
with a ginger pussy cat
in a world
too busy
too burdened with suffering
too busy
too burdened with suffering
one has to find some respite
in a realm
of gentleness
of loveliness
of peace and quiet without angst
there has to be some time
to bask in repose
of peace and quiet without angst
there has to be some time
to bask in repose
Lovely music to accompany your words: "Someone who enjoys hearing from me/you ... " That is a blessing, indeed, in this world.
ReplyDeleteSadly tis true !
DeleteIndeed there does have to be! And what excellent things you list.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful poem, Rall. Finding that serene spot, where all good things are to be found is getting harder and harder in this mad world...
ReplyDeleteIn this busy world, we sure need to have some calm and peace.
ReplyDeleteMay we all find solace & divine grace without the chase!
It is so important to have the coping mechanisms you have described- our blog community lifts my spirit too - thank you for being part of it - Jae

ReplyDeleteReminds me of Dutch, our daughter's rescue Roman Blue (??). He seems soooo thankful to be living is his new home. You wrote him up so graciously.
ReplyDeleteSometimes to bask in repose - l so agree with you!!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, we have to find some respite from all the white noise and misinformation that is trying to confuse and destabilise us. And what better ways to find that respite than in the your list?
ReplyDeleteEscaping into some peaceful, enjoyable times is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteMost e-friends post classic rock videos; that makes your classical music videos even more refreshing. (When able to listen to videos, I do, compulsively, indiscriminately, because most of the time I can't listen.)
