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. 12-October-2022 Rondine a(R)bbaabR abbaR @ 8 syllables per line

Nicely written and a difficult form to engage in writing Seeker. Well done my friend...

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!

I would find this form difficult not only because I am not good at rhyming but also as it must be in iambic form.
