Notes About The Poem

In Staid Stillness

In staid stillness let us receive
with gratitude, each breath we take,
making mind tranquil like a lake,
negating schemes ego does weave,
for whose demise we need not grieve,
that in quietude we awake,
in staid stillness.

Burden of fear we chose to heave
was evidently a mistake,
which at soonest, we'd best forsake,
compelling ego to take leave,
in staid stillness.

Michael Tor October 12, 2022 at 4:17 PM Nicely written and a difficult form to engage in writing Seeker. Well done my friend... Unseeking Seeker October 12, 2022 at 6:08 PM Thank you, Michael ~

Sam Kauffman October 12, 2022 at 10:56 AM Wonderfully crafted Seeker and, as always, imbedded with lessons for us in the value of "quietude" as a teacher. of the ego. So grateful for your wisdom that gently seeps into our understanding of the life journey we take together. Blessings to you! Unseeking Seeker October 12, 2022 at 6:07 PM Thank you, Sam! Our mind is entwined with universal mind, if we choose to connect ~ Google Ra Law of One

Victor Buhagiar October 12, 2022 at 10:35 AM I would find this form difficult not only because I am not good at rhyming but also as it must be in iambic form. Unseeking Seeker October 12, 2022 at 6:05 PM My first attempt too, prompted by Jeff’s blog
