    Poem Commentary

    Inspired by the beautiful, peace-filling frosted window pane I see as I fall asleep. I look forward to bedtime just to be still and gaze at the sparkling window...

    Her Escape

    Escape

    she gazes through starlight
    face to the frosted pane
    where a diamond studded landscape
    fuses weary soul and brain

    through glint and hue of tanzanite
    her dreams begin to write

    how shadowed tree limbs fall
    to rise, upon the icy view
    in sanctuary's quiet hall
    marked with peace signs ~overdue

    her need for stillness genuine
    now scatters ash on venial sin

    reposing, draped in holy light
    no gloom of darkening cave
    a poem of peace now flares
    the flames upon her heart engrave

    the fires of comfort thus ignite
    embraced by the stars tonight

    A hint of Thanatopsis in this. The desire for peaceful dreamsleep competes with the dreamless sleep of death. For now, life wins out, but the eternal stars beckon. A great antiphonal theme between fire and frost. Human life is somewhere safely in between.
