Animating Innate Vibrance
The “Bench” sits proudly among the trees,
perched high and overlooking the beauty of the water down below.
Exquisitely black, it seems to hypnotize,
beckoning you to stop for a spell.
Once captured, an involuntary trance arises;
you’re transposed to another dimension,
where your awareness becomes unblinking,
eyes fixated on the ripples in the water.
Heightened senses come alive
as a shiver runs up and down the curve of your back.
Your mouth gapes open as pieces of precious memories escape,
softly murmuring in soothing tones to the shadow
sitting beside you,
praying feverishly for signs of life from another dimension.
The “Bench”—
strong like a father,
its soft curves of the arms envelope you like a mother’s embrace—
a priceless reminder of a life so loved.
The strength and sturdiness of the bench evoke emotions,
a feeling of utmost comfort,
the head-heart linking,
dwelling in time-stretched blissful peace.
It envelopes you, safe within a cocoon,
untouchable.
The energy rises within, and a soft moan escapes.
The yearning is so real as you reach out your hand,
lean over for a warm embrace.
There is no mystery—
the space beside you is held for an Angel.
The leaves are gently falling and rustling,
blowing in the wind like unspoken words of love
carried into the waves,
like a message in a bottle.
Always in my heart, a shining light,
an innate vibrance, an everlasting energy.
