Deep
I sleep the sleep
of the peaceful deep
where pain is quelled
and secrets keep
where hands of time
no longer sweep
and sorrow sewn
no need to reap
fall quiet love
please do not weep
my lifelong climb
had grown too steep
my soul longed
to sleep this sleep
for I’m at peace
in this silent deep
______________________
Down Down
my peace
soul-felt profound
down down ever down
into the waiting silence
without so much a single sound
absorbed
my spirit drowned
without so much a ripple
into the mute eternal
that gently buffets all around

glad that you found peace in the end…very nice rhyme scheme as well…makes it rather enchanting feeling rob.
Lovely cadence, Rob.
This interesting rhyming pattern definitely created a mood.

Both exquisite, Rob… a ripple-like echo.
Silky soft lyrical tribute to the romance of Shakespeare’s Ophelia legend.
So wonderful to see your comment on my blog! Great to see you around!
I love this! Would really enjoy hearing your read these aloud….they are beautifully suited.

Two great captures! I especially like the flow and rhyme of The Deep. Nicely penned!
AWESOME JOB ROB….this is excellent!
The first one made me very sleepy…enjoyed reading it out loud…
Beautifully done, like especially ‘The Deep.’
