Sam Kauffman Poet Free verse

At One With

At One With….

Still!  Perfect stillness
A verbless hermit
Present tense of the divine dawn
Ageless angelus -
No specter of yesterday
Vital youth of the ever eternal daystar
To a priceless creation before Genesis.

Motionless in meditation
The caress of flawless beauty 
In virgin minutes
Essential oil of dim caliginosity’s fragrance 
And a massage of morning’s messenger
Soft wink in a sequester of time
Daylight and midnight equal twins

Seamless solitude - 
A chant of plain song –
Solo symphony - 
Soft chimes of audible words
In wordless alliterations of wisdom
Expressions of the source 
Without a shadow

Tranquil in
The sweet taste of tranquility
In personification of the placid calm
Only cravings of perpetual satisfaction -
On the tongue perfection's noun 
A ban of bitterness
Savory sips - cool flavor on the palate 

Cradle of baptism 
A christening of bliss
A dedication to the infinite  
A hug from the divine edgeless Pi
A suspension of the animate frame
Caress of eternity’s essence in a benediction
No separation of Be into the ageless clarity of Is

Michelle Faulkner July 14, 2021 at 1:22 PM This is simply divine, I love the play of alliteration like 'morning messenger' and 'personification of placid calm' - very sly wink at the start with 'verbless hermit' too - I am beyond impressed, I don't think I could write something so pristine and meditative as this without any verbs! Sam Kauffman July 22, 2021 at 9:42 AM Michelle, I am blown away by your lovely, gracious message! Many, many thanks! It took me a while to get my thoughts together. I am so glad you liked it. Your words are an endless source of encouragement for me. Thank you! Sending you blessings!
