Petals of Peace

A time came unheralded in my life wandering in wasteland, when in the crushing clasp of suffering my heart broke and writhed in pain, searched for comforting calm arms, but found none to cling. Plunged in the stormy sea of agony, tried to swim through the dark night to the safe shore not in sight. A voice from within told me then, get detached from delusive desire, see hope dawning with new sunrise. My broken heart grew wings, flew free across the sunburst horizon to the valley of blooming flowers, fragrance floating in the spring air under the cerulean serene sky, emerging from the grey of gloom. In my tranquil mesmerized mind the floral shower of bliss drizzled silently with cadence of ecstasy. In the inner sanctum of sublime solitude I sensed in the bud of essence the soul opened the petals of peace. May 19, 2021 Contest : What Brings You Peace Sponsor : Chantelle Anne Cooke
