Here now this morn

there’s a head ache caused by a chill
body signals it needs some rest
nectar within yet continues to spill 
rising bliss mists notify we are blest
spine as always is a band of steel 
cool heat therein has a soothing feel

as the witness unthinking
watching, sensing, feeling
poised as awareness unblinking
savouring taste of bliss appealing
each breath we embrace and release
dwelling thus in time dissolved peace

What if there is a head ache, when there is peace, coolness and joy erupting from inside ! What comes from inside is far more powerful than what comes from outside. Enjoyed this beautifully rhyming poem.

Yes, a paradox of sorts. One sage, perhaps Ramana Maharishi, if I recall correctly, was dying of cancer and was yet at peace and blissful.
