“it’s not desire per say but the clinging ~ that stifles soul and stops heart from singing enlivening silence sets our soul free ~ vibrant in the now, joyful and carefree” – line of inquiry Reflected in the sun’s glittering persona, Gentle music, colored by the wonderful, Beautiful contrasts of light and laughter, Rising on the cobalt skies, into ever after. Morning joy falls soft like gentle raindrops, Dew caressing the petals of my roses, Hearts warmed by the music of the birdsong, Drifting through the thoughts, sweetest blessings. Secreted beneath the affectionate stories, Grace cascading, preaching peace and praise, Erasing the melancholy, the fading shadows, On a moonlit hill where stars twinkle, so vibrant. Lost in the trembling paradise, the garden, Where yesterday feeds the present day, Singing harmony with hopes and dreams, Blending pearls of joy with silent screams. Amid the tones, rhythms of elation, bliss Crisp as the new dawn and just as fresh, Remembering the creativity of a broken kiss, Inviting the brave natures of soundless feelings. Imaginations bestow quiet tendencies, Shades of forgiving smiles in echoes of applause, While all else fails, there is the acclaim, From the hearts who recall angelic cries of prayers. Breathing inspiration into the flooded unknown, Regions of hope, where seas travel warm, Bidding good-bye to the rivers who still yearn, Lasting throughout time, in swift waves, they dance. Yesterday, moments bled through the sorrows, Vanishing beyond the fears, tears and doubting, Remembering blessings poured out over life, Speaking out joy despite the despair that never quits. This is the tale of a being, a soul who believes, Beyond the mountains, beyond the seas, There are pieces of grace spreading faith and light, Breathing serenity all across the darkest nights. This is a tale of life’s greatest need, the believing, That plants the eternal seed… With these words, I leave you a foundation, Start with faith and continue with grace that frees. Listen to this Jesus, who offers eternal peace!

Your Your poem unfolds like a tapestry of emotions, weaving together the threads of joy, love, and faith. The opening lines set the tone, exploring the idea that it's not desire itself but the clinging that stifles the soul. This insight into the nature of desire serves as a profound line of inquiry, inviting readers to reflect on the balance between longing and liberation...
