These are excellent 3-6-9 verses, all tied together in one overall thought. I like how you leave the interpretation open for the reader. I especially like the description of the grey-eyes aglow. You can almost feel the wisdom and love coming from them.

Steve,

A beautiful, encouraging, and hopeful post for this contest of small poems. I've read lots and lots and must say that yours rises above the rest. (Shhhh...) *smile*

Your syllable counts are all just right and your words are unique and totally original. The addition of end rhymes adds a bonus pleasure to the reading.

On the first read, I got a message of the love and comfort in hard times from GOD. On the second and third reads, I understood this is directed at a mortal being - one who provides the most basic (and yet hard to find!) solace.

A lovely entry - I enjoyed. Good luck in the voting!

I like your poem on cocooning at this him Ed in everyone's lives during the Covid-19 virus that has changed our passing of time so differently to what we know and I think you got this message in your poem well done

Ah, Steve, you shine at these ethereal love poems--at least I assume this is a love poem. At this time, sanctuary is a much sought after place.
I particularly like the second stanza--havened is a neat verb.
Very well done, Steve. Best of luck with the Committee.

Peace, Lee

    Thanks, Lee.

    Hopefully both a love poem and a nod to the care and warmth we all need these days.

    Kahpot, many thanks for the enthusiastic review.

    Yes, it's a little hard to craft 3-6-9 stanzas into something meaningful and worthwhile - I'm glad you think that I succeeded.
