In the Absence of Complication

In the absence of complication,
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.
Orange-gold trickles from those sapphire skies alight on my warm freckled skin.
I bask in saffron deliciousness,  mind-lapping this moment of utter simplicity.
Inside the mindfulness of my chrysalis, I relish a metamorphosis
to new-found freedom’s sweetness 
which flits away agony and woes on butterfly wings.
Did I release the pain, or did the pain release me?
It matters not; I stay quiet writing -
for now – a blissful sunflower following the sun

Nov. 22, 2019 for 'Your Best New Poem' Poetry Contest of Emile Pinet
