Hushed mystic quests esoteric intellect As quietude permeates domain of truth Ruminating about things done and said Reflecting upon the avenues of regrets Reminiscing on boulevards of conquests Tallying up all the triumphs and defeats Wailing in futility of feats and fantasies. What has been, cedes to what could be Beyond pensive boundaries of mortality Illuminating today in meditative reverie Transcending the mundane, the ordinary, The futile worries confused in ambiguities. Ambitious past now seeks new meaning As dissonant arguments lose appeals And wisdom draws from ethereal spirits And enlightenment ascends satori feelings Where grief is no longer as dominating And happiness no longer as demanding-- For material things forfeit their entreaties. Life in equilibrium of peace and serenity Aspires to poise of supreme understanding Buoying on clout of calmness and clarity, No longer stirring what could have been Seeing everyday as the essence of being In eternal halo of a cognitive awakening. November 3, 2020 Placed 2nd: Ambedo poetry contest by Silent One Placed 3rd: Podium placings (6) by Brian Strand

Around moments of distress and grief, this thought is very comforting. "Seeing everyday as the essence of being" In life, there can be "peace and serenity" Blessings truly surround us. Your thoughts curl gently around me and my heart. ~ Brandy
