Ennui

For no reason at all if our heart contracts, enveloping us in an aura of gloom, lost in ambedo trance, our presence reacts, refuelling vibrations ushering doom, so unless we're in possession of the facts, we stifle innate bliss beats that yearn to zoom. So where lie roots of depression, we may ask, to exhume darkness as our breath by breath task? Let's cut to the chase, ignorance is the cause, which in turn means that unless we are aware, moment to moment, with desires put on pause, we'll be unable to side step ego's snare, so being here and now is the cure because by abiding in stillness, our soul's laid bare and we then witness the ebb and flow of tide, in the firm knowing, that bliss pulsates inside. 08-May-2023 __________ Anatomy of Melancholy Poetry Contest Sponsor: Craig Cornish

Indeed, Seeker, bliss does yearn to bloom in the light of forgiveness. Without forgiveness our areas of unforgiven hurt, that we sometimes cling to, become stumbling blocks to reaching the full flower of bliss! This poem is so wonderfully crafted and reflects your wisdom that always reminds us to seek a place of bliss by discarding any and all things that block our path. Always inspiring! Always beautifully written. Perfect title! Congratulations!

Thank you, Sam. The main hurdle is ignorance. Once we know who we truly are, life becomes simple.

If it can be fought, it must be fought early on…we must forgive others and ourselves, grieve fully but not dig our own grave. Congratulations, US!

About forgiveness ~ Acceptance obviates need to forgive, since then we feel no sense of injury, because there never was any expectation.
