The Faded Shade

A sentimental sentiment Is part of my prevailing mood; A consequential condiment To my exquisite interlude. A perfect penetration made Within experience sublime Eliminates the faded shade That marks the tragedy of time. I stand alone in private thought (euphoric on this earthen day) receiving all that I have sought as proud production comes my way. To find serene serenity Inside this simple mind of mine Brings forth a pure tranquility Refined by light within to shine. Achieved with solitary ease A state of bliss I now have found; Resigned to bliss, consigned to please, A soul transcendent and profound. I thank the teaching of the muse Who then, in gentle quietude, Committed to me rules to use Applied and tried in solitude. A man set free from pain and tears As vectors changed within life's flight; Then love's sweet peace replaced his fears With clarity of perfect sight.
