Safe Hands
February 7th, 2012 § 23 Comments
Spirits whisper secrets
to those who await
their gift
Beneath the sun and moon
patterns of thought
unfold.
Names carved into
stone and marble
or, etched onto steel
each revealing history
A wedge-shaped piece of heart
…left
sleeping inside safe hands
where love still leaves
its forever roses
within that
sound of peace.

That pic is fabu!!
the first stanza reminds me of the muse when she has her way with me, hmmm
Daydreamer … you’re marvelous, this is a wonderful poem.
I have written my first The Mag haiku on this picture.
truly enjoyed the simple beauty and truth in this. lovely write ~ Rose
This poem flows very, very well and was a pleasure to read… Thank you
Your poem is filled with peacefulness. Yes, all carved names bring with them history…as long as their names remain, their memory will not be erased.
Spirits whisper secrets…
Don’t they just?
Soporific, until I came to the wedge shaped piece of heart! Wonderful.
What an amazing piece of art work in both pic and works. You got it perfectly and that is one of the most incredible stone markers I have ever seen. The person inside must have been truly loved. I once saw a young angel carrying a puppy and of course, it was very old and it was for a little girl. It so inspired me that I wrote a story about it called “The 10 to 6″. Beautiful, Bre! Still miss you at OD. Love,Ann
Beautiful piece, Bren. Perfect words for that sculpture.

Beautiful write!
Beautiful words that capture a warm feeling of safety.
I’m as equally in awe of the image as I am of the words. You are the real deal, Bren! This is seriously fantastic!
Another magickal write!

So very beautifully written!
I felt the serene edges of your poem nudging my soul to a dreamy place. Thank you for sharing this.
Oh, I’ve read a bunch of really nice inspirations garnered from that picture, but the sentimentality you used works the best for me. Amazing job, really a great take on the image. Thanks
Wow. This goes beyond beautiful and reaches elegaic…….absolutely wonderful to read. It transported me onto another plane. Very peaceful.
We should all sleep in safe hands. I love that peaceful image.
=)
I like the theme of safe hands…and yes that doctor’s hands did wonders for many ~
Happy day ~
So peaceful today, even with the kind of creepy pic on display. Well I gues it’s not so bad, as long as those are wood/stone and not the real hands of some lass or lad…haha

that makes for a beautiful close…and image for us to end on in this bren…i often go to the city cemetary which is huge here and contains a lot of history…i find peace there often.
Bren, love these words…sleeping inside safe hands
where love still leaves
its forever roses
within that
sound of peace.
love the peaceful mood and the sleeping inside safe hands…love to walk the cemetery, reading the names and thinking about their stories…each revealing history…sure they do..
