I am Premiere Contest Winner

“As God’s spark ensouling organic form, I am that presence which cannot be named, felt within as a magnetic bliss storm, divine pulsation that cannot be tamed, gentled by His touch, within body framed. I am that which transcends both space and time. I am love and light, causing heart to chime" ~ Unseeking Seeker
Through quivering quietude and the pulse of Patience, I inhale Zest, sip from the chalice of Zen, when the sky weeps upon seas of stillness, and the sun filters its amber streaks, while hummingbird feathers glisten and glow, bells of life fill the petrichor air, I rest my quill within the musical rhythm of this wakeful heart, close my eyes to follow the trail of tranquility. For within my soul reverberate divine melodies of bliss and love, of solace and light, in singing silence, mirroring sparks of galaxies, threading hibiscus hymns from magnetic fields, spinning swirls of hallowed reveries from the spine of nature, letting the illusory mirage of the material world melt into estuaries of awakened aquamarines rushing through veins, as vanity is veiled with lotus luminosity… I am magic ~ an untitled sorcery, rising from the sands of incensed clarity. I am peace~ an unseen vibration flowing through the roots of ethereal grains. I am the darker face of dusk and the brighter grace of dawn. Yin and yang, sculpted with porcelain pigments and obsidian dews. I never vowed to paint rainbows through tempests, but I weather malicious monsoons in mindfulness, weaving odes of wisdom and gratitude to the Almighty, for revealing radiant runes~ on golden dunes, a rose-rinsed reflection of the poetic dreamer within, in tune with the chakra chimes, erasing egoistic mantras written between pages of procrastination… So feel me beyond my name and ink, I am more than the superficial metaphors, aggravated assonance, disillusioned diction, melancholic muse, lyrical lament, alienated alliterations. I am the timeless essence of healing in harmony, a mere echo of the heaven’s heartbeat, speaking in dialects of kindness to ease the aching angst hanging on cynical chapters of obscurity, with clear consciousness and sharpened faith… And tonight, I waltz through astral walkways, like fireflies drifting and ascending, mellifluous mists of nirvana choreographing an ambience enveloped in resilience and felicity, the poet and the poem~ untamed and unlabeled the artist and the acrylic~ unseen yet felt, r e m e m b e r me, a cosmic odyssey sailing through space and time...

IE, this poem indicates that you are doing something wonderful for us all. You have remarkable humility and understand the limitations of what we do as poets. You are on a marvelous journey and it's a pleasure to experience the separation of sprit from the body and have the ability to travel any part of the universe through imagination. Hope you are well and smiles!!

Dear Ink, My warmest congratulations on winning the contest with such an outstanding poem about inner calm, self-identity, and the relationship between the individual and the cosmos. It promotes awareness, calm, and the harmonious balancing of opposites (such as yin and yang). The subject also explores themes of spirituality, nature, and personal growth via contemplation and appreciation for life's beauty. It's great to share the podium with you on the lower third stand (smiles).

A poet's pen at rest can only mean it's time for gathering thoughts to write in verses as if they were raining in the mind as that monsoon you mentioned. Waltz in its mist if it washes over you, creating phrases to write as if you were a "cosmic odyssey sailing through space and time." It's what poetry is meant to capture from the pen in your hand, Ink.

Dearest Inky, 'the poet and the poem' love this. Pure transcendence in verse. Your words don’t just paint pictures—they breathe, shimmer, and resonate with a sacred kind of stillness. I felt myself floating between realms, guided by the rhythm of your spirit and the beauty of your truth. This is more than a poem—it’s a soulprint. Always a pleasure reading your poems...Hugs
