Peacefulness of the Setting Sun

In the peacefulness of the setting sun
I drum sitting cross-legged upon the earth
the fibers of my being seemingly undone
my vision of the world becoming blurred

show me the way where the owls dreams
where the birds sing in harmonious song
where thoughts of love continuously stream
show me the place where my soul belongs

sunlight kisses the lips of radiant moonlight
drifting into the prairies where buffalo roam
a dreamer wanders into wondrous starlight
following heartbeats to a place called home

show me the way where heaven & earth meet
where the wildflowers grow strong and free
where deer sprint away from unknown streets
show me the place where my soul longs to be

in the peacefulness of the setting sun
I drum sitting cross-legged upon the earth
the fibers of my being seamlessly beating as one
following inner dreams, leads to self-worth

  1. "show me the place where my soul belongs" Such peace in the setting sun, for starters. I love the drumming and the rhythm and rhyme of this poem. A beautiful prayer.

  2. How I love this poem, Truedessa. "Showme the way where the owls dream....." that place where the wild ones are, who are so much more connected to the earth than we humans. I feel the longing - for peace, for harmony, for connection. My new favourite of yours.

  3. There is something so peaceful and beautiful about sunset, isn't it? We were at a lake last week, and each night we experienced BEAUTIFUL sunsets, which gave me a feeling of extreme calm, well appreciated and needed. Your poem gives me that same feeling.
