The Faded Shade

A sentimental sentiment 
Is part of my prevailing mood; 
A consequential condiment 
To my exquisite interlude. 

A perfect penetration made 
Within experience sublime 
Eliminates the faded shade 
That marks the tragedy of time. 

I stand alone in private thought 
(euphoric on this earthen day) 
receiving all that I have sought 
as proud production comes my way. 

To find serene serenity 
Inside this simple mind of mine 
Brings forth a pure tranquility 
Refined by light within to shine. 

Achieved with solitary ease 
A state of bliss I now have found; 
Resigned to bliss, consigned to please, 
A soul transcendent and profound. 

I thank the teaching of the muse 
Who then, in gentle quietude, 
Committed to me rules to use 
Applied and tried in solitude. 

A man set free from pain and tears 
As vectors changed within life's flight; 
Then love's sweet peace replaced his fears 
With clarity of perfect sight.
