African children, African setting, by the fireside, cooking pot, Evening Lull, Motherhood, Peace, the african mother

Evening Lull. Prompt on Carpe Diem

Evening Lull

by the fireside
kids’ sweet birdie chatter fill
mother’s cooking pot
 

Evening Lull (2)

warm evening lull
love brew in African pot
mama’s tasty meals
 
Evening Lull (3)
 
cool evening lull
gentle whispers of the trees
make soothing music

In Celebration of World Poetry Day – Peace

Peace, Whispers, World Poetry Day

Peace
 
Whispers of the dawn
Sprays its dew
On a waking world
Whispers of the morn
Softly Kiss the soul
Saying, sighing Peace
Perfect Peace.
 
Men and women moan
In an orbit of pain
Children and babes cry
In a confused light
That is neither bright
Nor is dark and dim
 
Yet all around
The moaning winds feel
The soothing touch
That is sweet, sweet Peace
 
My Peace I bring to you
To do the world good
Claim It for your soul
Feel it in your hearts
As a balm, an elixir
Let it sink into your being
Making the dying
Into the  living
 
And as the heavens opens
For a gaze at my splendour
Marvel, yes feast,
Your  thirsty souls
On my Peace, Perfect Peace
