One Moment of Peace
Gentle dove as white as snow
Fantasy on wings I go
Flying through infinite sky
Fears diminish, glorify
Guiding light, finite below
In slow motion, precious flow
Worldly life left far behind
Sweet the tempo to unwind
Float among celestial light
Wondrous view erase the night
Love beyond the wildest dream
Waterfall in peaceful stream
Gentle dove as white as snow
Fantasy on wings I flow.

Hello, Karen, and thank you so much for posting my poem I would like to reiterate that although I no longer host the web site, I have collaborated with writer, Zona Rowand Lawrence, in writing a children's book, The Morning Dream, which is now available on Amazon for Kindle and other electronic devices. All the illustrations from cover to cover are mine. All the words are Zona's. The actual book will be available on Amazon soon. I hope I haven't stepped out of line in this writing but, my intention is FIRST and foremost to thank you for posting the poem. Your on line journal is amazing as are you! Thanks again, my friend, Sheri
