Beyond Awareness

Softly flowing breeze ripples on the blooming garden, like a rustling leaf I slither aimlessly on rough ground, don’t see the flair of the flowers floating on the breeze, not even find the latticed butterflies flittering around. Whispering wind flows across the stratum of blue sky, like the detached clump of cloud I drift to nowhere, colors of the sunburst horizon at dawn don’t reach me, not even the silver rays of the mesmeric moonshine. Encased in the monotony of the sound of breaking waves, like a forlorn pebble on the beach I roll back and forth, don’t hear the enthralling music of the serenading breeze, not even the murmur of water making pearly lace for me. In time’s tide of noise my mind wanders beyond awareness, I concentrate my ruffled mind in serene depth of meditation, learning to extract ecstasy from the focused consciousness, try to see the soul bloom in bliss in the vase of mindfulness June 11, 2021 Contest : Mindfulness Sponsor : Unseeking Seeker
