Poetic Fasting

As attention is released from food 
it heightens magnetic mood
lucidity descends kinetic 
discernment ascends aesthetic 
ideas caught, nothing goes naught

Body cleared from excess toxin
channels widen spilling more options
downward floods idyllic inspiration 
upward goes my motivation 
observation sharp for superior creation

Food for body is not food for spirit
fasting increases angelic visits 
feeding mind so cordial with verses divine
such a clean sacrifice makes 
my stanzas exquisitely explicit 

Time spent preparing meals
godlike used for lyrical poetic reels
layers we spiritually allegorically peel
seals ink with rhymes and rhythms
ecstatic rhapsodic colourful prisms !

Oh Wow! That is awesome, Douglas. I’m fasting at the moment sunrise to sunset. Normally I do two days a month. Eating organic is too pricey for me & most peeps at moment, if we don’t have our own gardens. Hopefully as more go organic, prices will stabilise. ThkU for read & pop-in. I appreciate. X.

good day Ghairo I fast form time to time 24-36 hours, however I only eat two meals a day at 9am and 3pm . Some say that is a daily fast with the 15 hour break. Also only eat 100% raw organic/ biodynamic much home grown fruits and greens so the toxic load is much reduced. No alcohol tea or coffee A great poem Blessings Douglas

ThkU for comment, Paige. I’m fasting at moment. It’s a bit harder when one gets older. Xx
