He sits, quietly and openly,
His fingers entwined
As if he wants to guard all which is good,
And his feet apart
as if he wants to let go all things which do not matter.
-Contented is his soul.
For me fingers entwined suggests thoughtful and feet apart suggests relaxed. Perfect for the lines that follow "as if" in your poem. Guarding all that which is good and letting go of all that which does not matter equals a contented soul - I agree.
Dear Bernie,
I very much appreciate your kind words. You’re my best critic and i wait eagerly for your reading and wise input. If i don’t reply, it’s just a lack of time, however, i do read the comments from time to time.
Fellow Poet Bernie, a big cheers.
