Impressionism means taking inspiration directly from nature, trusting ones senses rather than what one thinks one knows.

Michael McClure

The Art of Poetry – The Wonder of Exploring Writing Poetry – Sonnet – Embracing Nature’s Healing Power – Finding Serenity and Comfort – Poetic Reflection – A Gentle Peace – A Poem by Goff James

Welcome

The coloured image is inspired by the Sonnet, A Gentle Peace by Goff James. The image depicts a golden sunrise breaking from behind the clouds and bathing the hills , slopes, valleys and trees in golden rays. Sonnet - A Gentle Peace by Goff James A gentle peace, the sweetest ever known, Descends with chords that rise and softly fall. In nature's psalms, beauty rare is sown, An angel's touch embracing one and all. Dawn’s chanting voice, a balm upon the ear, Lifts weary spirits, heals each hidden wound. No fear remains, for faith is shining clear, As grace and hope within the heart are found. The music swells, a comfort deep and true, A presence felt, unseen, yet ever near. It washes clean, makes everything anew, And dries away each solitary tear. In soaring notes, the soul finds sweet release, A haven built of joy and perfect peace.

Poem – Sonnet

A Gentle Peace by Goff James

A gentle peace, the sweetest ever known,
Descends with chords that rise and softly fall.
In nature’s psalms, beauty rare is sown,
An angel’s touch embracing one and all.

Dawn’s chanting voice, a balm upon the ear,
Lifts weary spirits, heals each hidden wound.
No fear remains, for faith is shining clear,
As grace and hope within the heart are found.

The music swells, a comfort deep and true,
A presence felt, unseen, yet ever near.
It washes clean, makes everything anew,
And dries away each solitary tear.

In soaring notes, the soul finds sweet release,
A haven built of joy and perfect peace.

Welcome

Grief is tidal. In time, it can recede and leave one with feelings of peace and advancement, only for it to wash back in with all its crushing hopelessness and sorrow.

Nick Cave

*****

The coloured image, inspired by the Poem (Elegy) titled Dawn's Song Lies Hushed by Goff James', depicts dawn's pale light cast over the ocean's waves and sandy shoreline Poem- Elegy Dawn's Song Lies Hushed by Goff James Dawn’s song lies hushed, the throng dispersed, Each flock of birds, no longer heard. The land sleeps still, the day grows cold, The wake's light pale, a tale untold. All lovers’ dreams, now far away, A lasting scar, where shadows play. The buzzing swarm, a fading hum, The golden sun, its spinning spun. The shifting sand, the waves roll wide, A raging storm, where time has died. A weathered stone, a brittle bone, A thoughtful man, a careful plan, All now lie entombed. .

Dawn’s Song Lies Hushed by Goff James

Dawn’s song lies hushed, the throng dispersed,
Each flock of birds, no longer heard.

The land sleeps still, the day grows cold,
The wake’s light pale, a tale untold.

All lovers’ dreams, now far away,
A lasting scar, where shadows play.

The buzzing swarm, a fading hum,
The golden sun, its spinning spun.

The shifting sand, the waves roll wide,
A raging storm, where time has died.

A weathered stone, a brittle bone,
A thoughtful man, a careful plan,
All now lie entombed.
