As soft I knelt, bright shone the sun
though winter held, warmth had begun
my frozen heart began to melt
this breaking dawn saw my tears run
a renewed love, is what I felt
bright shone the sun, as soft I knelt
a quiet song, my heart did sing
fresh trust unleashed a new wellspring
this truly was a brand new dawn
love felt again a precious thing
was then I knew love would go on
my heart did sing, a quiet song

A quiet song is what is needed now…very sensitive verse …
…and clear level heads. Thank you Ain. 🙂
Such heartfelt poem of healing, Rob. I hope you are feeling this peace.
Thank you Merril. Peace is upon me today, thankfully. 🙂
So full of hope, Rob. Much needed.
Thank you Sarah — I agree… 🙂
Beautiful Rob
much love…
Thank you, much love to you Gillena… 🙂
Aaaah, beautiful and stilling words, perfect for intoning before I go to my quiet bed, perchance to rest from /inquiete/ = anxiety.
Thank you Rob. I shall drop by again x
Thank you Kathy, I am happy this resonated for you. Peace — and do return… 🙂
I can dig it, brother. Your sweet verses eradicate the sound of cannon from my skull. You aced the form too. Trump moons my latest poetic. Dozens of poems about him over 5 years+. Could do a book called NEVER TRUMP.
Glad I could offer a little quiet my friend… 🙂 You should publish a book of your Trump verse Glenn, msny would gravitate to it!
A lovely quiet song – we all need to hear this today. Thanks for joining in.
You are welcome Grace… 🙂
Beautiful words! Nicely done
Thank you Christine! 🙂
“a quiet song” indeed
I love the addition of the Sade at the end. A man of taste!
Thank you Seamus. Love that smokey voice!
When love is reaffirmed, oh what joy and faith restored. Beautiful moment that you capture well in your words, Rob.
Thank you Lisa. I felt peace in writing this, and it came without great struggle.
A beautiful, gentle and quiet song to soothe my troubled mind this morning. Thank you Rob.
You are welcome Ingrid. Pleased I was able to provide a bit of comfort… 😉
Simply beautiful (and you nailed the form)
Thank you on both counts Ron… 🙂
I’m so glad to read a hopeful poem from you, after a series of rather dark ones. I’ve always liked your love songs best.
Thank you Xan. I like writing both, dark is more meaty to write, more visceral — and I am by nature a positive pessimistic person — meaning I usually see the dark side to avoid danger, but will gladly bask in the light, should it shine! 🙂
My heart is soaring .. and singing along with you! Lovely, Rob. Enjoy the Weekend ….
Thank you so much Sherry! 🙂
“my heart did sing, a quiet song” What a wonderful thing… if only the whole world could sing along.
Thank you Debi!
Lovely way to put words together! My heart is warmed by reading your poem. Thank you.
You are welcome!n:)
Thank heaven for those moments of renewed hope. Beautiful, Rob.
thank you Sherry…
This is lovely!
(I think you must have gazumped Magaly’s ‘Peace’ prompt for next week’s P&SU – but perhaps you will create something equally lovely again.)
Thank you Rosemary.
we need all the songs we can have in the world today
I heartily agree Bjorn… 🙂
This is a lovely respite from our current world.
Thank you Sara… 🙂
