Welcome to The poetry Palace and "Inspiration of the week". There are so much talent wthin the blogsphere and this week I have visited a blog that I am sure will inspire the others talented poets. I am Chimnese and it's a pleasure to be with you.
Today's Chosen Poem I share with you
is a poem by Charles L Mashburn
Like a Pearl Set in Gold
It has been said
One in ten thousand moons
fall silently from a daytime sky
to touch a rainbow
and there to glisten
like a pearl set in gold
resting upon a pale blue cotton dress
Some nights when I am restless
Tossing and turning
and wondering why sleep won’t come
I turn to find you sleeping
so peacefully at my side
Moonlight through the curtain gap
laying soft across your shoulder
Troubles and worries fade
as I gaze lovingly at you
and realize how blessed I am
to have found this treasure
A proverbial rainbow’s end
Peace washes over me
As I settle back
and smile at my good fortune
Sheets rustle
and I feel your hand move to my chest
Sweetly, you whisper, I love you
then your deep breathing resumes
A tear falls as I give thanks
For sleepless nights that let me see
The moon touching the rainbow
That lies sleeping next to me
