Bolero

I can feel a new me

There's silence within 

Like Lake water lapping 

The ripples inside 

Slowly, gently moving 

A stillness worth experiencing 

 

I can feel a stronger me

A surge of wind 

Tornadoes or tsunamis 

Nothing is affecting 

A calm to see 

No matter what turmoil 

There's extreme peace 

 

I can feel a loving me 

Romance dazzling 

Like dazzling lights 

On every drop of rain

That falls inside 

My heart's chamber 

Flaming with love 

Bolero dance on floor 

The twin flames 

 

I can feel me 

What I am today 

A mix of old and new 

Golden hues 

Tinged with blues 

Purple glows and fine rose

Beauty Chiseled meticulously 

Creating a marvel

Mesmerizing soul 

Here I'm, Me.

Sure it does Nigel. I'm graciously growing each day. Never to be old and faded, but beautiful and new.😇
