Dreamin' of Purple Gladioluses

Shelter me from the daily news
life ain't always a pleasure cruise
the dark storms keep rollin' in
prayin' for light and peace to win

Shelter me from tremors of night
my soul escapes on wings in flight
the outside world seems hopeless
I'm dreamin' of purple gladioluses

shelter me, creator of grace
grant me a sanctuary, I can embrace

Shelter me from pain & loss
how many roads must I cross
redemption is a prayer away
wildflowers grow in disarray

Shelter me from the daily news
life ain't always a pleasure cruise
the dark storms keep rollin' in
prayin' for light and peace to win

shelter me, creator of grace
grant me a sanctuary, I can embrace

Shelter me from hate and greed
good intentions should be the creed
a bouquet of sword lilies in my heart
when will this dark sorrow depart

Shelter me from the daily news
life ain't always a pleasure cruise
the dark storms keep rollin' in
prayin' for light and peace to win

shelter me, creator of grace
grant me a sanctuary, I can embrace

  1. I like the repetition in your poem. It has both the quality of a Blues song and a prayer. A prayer I'm making too. Suzanne (wordpress blog) Mapping Uncertainty

  3. Beautifully written, True. Most of the world is in search of safe sanctuary these days. I love the rhyming and rhythm in this poem. Especially impressed with rhyming hopeless and glaioluses....well done! Smiles.

  4. "shelter me, creator of grace
    grant me a sanctuary, I can embrace"

    Reads like a prayer.

  7. Here is a song I would play often, having the purple glads and iris and the constant prayer that others might have the sanctuary too. I benefit from you finding sanctuary here with poetry. Love. If you ever sing this, please send the song!

  9. We do have way too much sadness coming in from the news... I wonder though if it helps to be sheltered...
    This could be a great song

    1. Hmm interesting sheltering from the news might put one in denial. May need to revise that part. Thank you!
