Ethereal Openness

Listen to poem:

Written: January 30, 2024 _______________________________________ Amidst the darkness, a tunic of silence looms high mentioned in a muttered manner spying via disguised apertures rooting remorse-ridden radiance Upon a glimmering A blue-toned backdrop under a celestial canopy with mesmerizing shimmer A stillness wraps the earth entangled in unfathomable peace. An opus devoted to stillness saturates this space winter wonderland breathing beauty blue anodyne snowy utopia. Winter dreary nights prolonged and chilly, glows with a suave weave mesmerizing gray foliage The exquisite grace unparalleled in magnitude, with bright sunrays bouncing off, a pure, lovely layer of snow Embrace a serene moment where harmony rules supreme, an enormous sensation of delight as the euphoria wears off The light was shimmering In an icy realm devoid of any conflict, But the bitter northern winter Winds are as sharp as knives. Suddenly, that time ended As it slowly slips away, A gift of blissfulness remains in an unspoken way akin to an infant sleeping with calmness all around, A place where time stood still and tranquility was found Sunlight and shadows disappear, for it is meant to be, In the seasons, finding hope and the spirit soars free. We're both ugly and gorgeous We can love, but we may also hate We breached the rules while playing I wonder what our fate will be Multifaceted, we love and detest elegance and vulgarity Healing our emotions requires action and understand our ability to shift, Support me in spreading love and peace Inspire beauty in whatever we do, We can accomplish this together But the future is unknowable, A single idea could alter the world, I hope it's an idea that you have A remedy for shattered emotions, Another view I've been having I believe there is promise, Most people grasp the basics Even my silly pride may leave a mark I might be known for it in the future Reminding others of the concept I could also join them Who is initiating this act? Be involved in the entity Simply by accepting love When we realize we need peace, That alone may be sufficient We recall several eponyms, One thing must be remembered, This beauty is our goal. Over ugly, we must convey beauty.

--A blue-toned backdrop under a celestial canopy with mesmerizing shimmer--A place where time stood still and tranquility was found Sunlight and shadows disappear, for it is meant to be, In the seasons, finding hope and the spirit soars free--fabulous writing my friend. Your descriptions are simply mesmerizing, Lasaad.

I was truly mesmerized as I read your poem. I felt like I was on a journey of sorts through humanity's 'dark winter' to a 'hopeful spring.' I liked these lines:"A place where time stood still and tranquility was found sunlight and shadows disappear, for it is meant to be..."These lines, however, spoke to me: Support me in spreading love and peace inspire beauty in whatever we do," I'm with you...and believe we each are responsible for spreading beauty and light in individually and collectively.

Hey Sotto.. I love how your poem is a journey through various landscapes and emotions, offering glimpses of tranquillity, beauty, and introspection and how it concludes with a call to action, urging readers to embrace love, spread peace, and strive for beauty amidst life's uncertainties. The notion of collective responsibility towards nurturing beauty and harmony resonates as a hopeful reminder of the transformative power of human connection and compassion..

Beauty vs Ugly a concept you've woven so well. We are both! "In the seasons, finding hope and the spirit soars free" I like that line. If only we can together --"Embrace a serene moment where harmony rules supreme" "Healing our emotions requires action and understand our ability to shift" I enjoyed it's flow and the unique goal, inspiring! SP--easy to understand.
