Peace Reigns... Poem by Francesca Johnson

Peace Reigns...

Rating: 5.0


Moored up against an island
in the middle of nowhere
......is paradise.

Sunshine to warm me.
A waterfall to fill my ears
with the sound of the natural world,
its diamonds cascading endlessly
to break into chips at the bottom.

Butterflies and dragonflies dance,
taking their nectar from the rosebay willowherb
and common ragwort
on the river banks.

Greater burdock hang, batlike, from the ceiling
of the boat,
drying out to adorn a winter afloat.

Peace reigns.

No pains,
No chains to bind me,
No fetters,
What could be better?

Peace reigns.
