An Exultant Reverie

Listen to poem:
 
Written: February: 06, 2024 ___________________________________________ Peaceful solitude, letting exit of daily routine, surrender to peace, deep breathing calms the spirit, relax tight muscles, exhaling painlessly, away from extraneous impacts, falling into happiness. Our palms are extended, only a few inches away, approach the shrouded sanctum, excitedly expecting, the lavish outpour, with the cherubs, leap forward, our contaminated chalice, we shed transgressions, slithering veneer, digging for who we are, out of the covetous quagmire. Gradually into an ecstatic reverie, where time and space are muffled, mental symphony, being level and quiet, quietness says volumes, rich and calming, controlling all noises, who enters my head? stillness grows inside, permeating every bodily fiber, magically interacting within, so aged things may be rejuvenated, a baffling land that hides delight, swaying daisy petals and soft skin, circles of cutlery. Colorful smells scent them pasted text paralysis, capture lovely theaters, subtle care cracks, juxtaposed with colors and rich smells, falling and reveling.

Hi Lasaad, forgive my silence my friend - picked this extraordinary poem so rich in meaning. Solitude certainly can lead to exiting of daily routine which calms the spirit and breathing and relaxes tight muscles - so so true dear friend. 'Mental symphony being level and quiet, quietness says volumes' - mesmerizing words and a phenomenal choice of 'colors and rich smells, falling and reveling.' What a fantastic poem. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

"Gradually into an ecstatic reverie, where time and space are muffled, mental symphony, being level and quiet, quietness says volumes, rich and calming, controlling all noises," This is one of your recent Best ! How I wish to enter this state ! There is a rich galore of insight in your poem. This state of mind is called Nirvana... which Lord Buddha entered under the 'Bodhi' tree ! May I cut short.... this goes into my FAVE.

dear Sotta--your poem is rich with sights, sounds, and colors that made for a captivating read. Your poem seems to be one of a journey from a baffling land of sorts into the rich and calming quietness where time and space are muffled. It is here the feelings of triumph occur. I especially liked these words: 'stillness grows inside, permeating every bodily fiber, magically interacting within, so aged things may be rejuvenated' I also appreciated the quality of your imagery.Have a great evening!
