Call Me Softly Poem by Valerie Dohren

Call Me Softly

Rating: 5.0


Call me softly in the darkness
Do not deem to wake my soul
Never think to move my stillness
Nor my sorrow yet console

In my slumber I shall linger
Silent in the shadowed hours
Not to stir, nor seek the dawning,
Nor to sense the sweetened flowers

Wake me at the springtime`s coming
As the land is bathed in light
When the birds and flowers blooming
Bring an end to winter`s night

Then shall I with heart uplifted
Dance beneath the sun`s sweet grace
Wakened thus my soul to gladness
As portrayed upon my face

Call me softly in the darkness
Do not wrest me from my sleep
Wait until the morning carries
All that I should deem to keep...

(Ever then no more to weep)

A gentle & mild poem and its beauty is enhanced by its alternate rhyme-scheme...

Hibernation in melancholy; I once spent a winter sitting in front of a fireplace contemplating thoughts as these, when spring arrived I felt reborn. Nice mood setting on this one Valerie, brings back memories......

You don't need my paltry words for this, it speaks loudly enough for itself.
