It's Sweet Doing Nothing, 1879 - John William Waterhouse

It's Sweet Doing Nothing, 1879 _ by John William Waterhouse, 1879

Blissful Repose

 
"Life is a story with chapters unfolding, and of being 
possessed by love and lust, and want along the way."

                                                 Quote by _Constance


There are times in my life of want and lust,
things that I sought out with hunger:
cravings and desires that were a must,
of course, then, I was much younger;
with a love and thirst for meaningless things,
with a lust and yearning for everythings.

But, after years of want I was left torn,
the excitement was now broken:
I wanted to be free and be reborn,
my wish for freedom unspoken;
I became more aware and quite mindful,
finding that meditation was vital.

I released myself to sweet dreamy rest,
my mind ... peace and serenity:
and in quietness I have been so blessed,
blissful in tranquility;
in delightful silence I love to repose,
enraptured with driftiing words ... I compose.
