A pose in meditation

I hold the stem of a wineglass, a pose in meditation, cradling the glass as if it were an injured bird. This is my moment of peace, my mind at ease in stillness I peer at images and visions tease my heart to recall my journey through life. I need the grace to have clarity of thought, an unclouded focus, an ungrudging acceptance for moments of bliss, of loves possessed and gone, of choices forged, rejected, and discarded- I wish no barefaced cynicism, no conscience accuser. Absolution is my own private, solitary affair with unquenchable flair I will face life in all of its stages in unfaltering whimsy - not wither like a blossom in drought, not a weather vane in a shifting wind. @jjote021124
