Notes About The Poem

contest Seijaku...sponsor Silent One

Seijaku

The soft lit airy openness of my home
with its simple uncluttered spaces
   and various gardens
brings me a deep relaxing breath of peace
and allows me to withstand the storms of life
   in quiet understanding
whether sitting in an open space
where I can inhale the serenity of my existence
or finding peace while cutting my roses
   with the stillness of my mind as a companion
giving me pause to feel each breeze
that washes over the blooms in my gardens
where I find a calm majesty of motion
inviting my soul to welcome the purity of my senses
   as they reach tranquility
allowing me to release my Earthly bonds
freeing my soul into peaceful submission
   and the beautiful paradise of silence
where I fill my being 
with a serene solemn calm
