This is my first posting in about 2 years. This poem and it's companion were just recently rejected for publication in my college's literary magazine. Despite this I'm a fan of them for their verse, which I always utilize, and for their images.

“Beyond Repose”

Sing a song for me, tranquility
Play it back I’ll pause to bear
All the facets of your mystery
And the truths within your stare

In your sights I find most sensibly
Of the lures of idleness
Hear the verses croon out pensively
On the charms of lifelessness

Wherein vocalized within your calls
Raw enchanted frailty
Orchestrated tones in waterfalls
Show a beauty, fast and free

See disclosed within the changing shades
Bleeding summers fading bliss
Which reveal the season’s final fade
And yields souls into remiss

If where silence lurks you are recalled
It’s but vague uncertainty
But a fool to think I might befall
Tranquil thoughts - beyond the trees

ahhh. the peace of heightened awareness
recapping a soul station in the universe

There are many fine images
that I find most vibrant.
I would like to spend more time
with one or two of them to gather
and soak in the serenity and the
atmosphere that has been set up.

The beat of the poem keeps me
moving a tad too quickly throughout
the read for digestion of ideas.
I suppose rhymes at times, will do that?

I have chosen in my own mind to simplify
the verses down to their bare bones
and I have found the basics of this to
be delightful.

The last image "beyond the trees"
frees up my spirit as I leave the poem.

Thanks for the read.

your words
spread their own atmosphere within
the verse and the jingle-jangle metre flow
keeps the eyes waterfalling down.
well done!

peace;(hymn/armony).
