An Exultant Reverie

 
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.

Jennifer Proxenos February 14, 2024 at 12:00 PM 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

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.
