Premiere Contest WinnerThe pathless path

"this form of dust is by God energised wherein we are living light housed within how may this truth be realised show us oh monk, how to begin" ~ Unseeking Seeker
  Hope feasts in the pristine palm of grace, softening into a lilac breeze, stroking sea-swells of aquatic heat, like the warmth of cashmere dreams spilling from the electric gaze while the third eye blinks and roams, reflecting the first star of morning siren skies ~ catching the cadence of clarity, clearing cascading confusions while I search the arms of azure, dressing the blues in colors of calmness, concealing the cracks of chaos ~ for awareness awakens, as I earn the key to unlock the chakra, to inhale jasmines of Eden… I’ve long been paralyzed ~ helplessly suspended in pathological lies, a prisoner of poetry, scribbling perplexed perspectives, unaware of how every metaphor manifests the melody of the mind, every grain of thought materializes constellations ~ every syllable of the storm poisons cerulean skies... O peace-weaver, light maestro, the monk robed in saffron serenity, show me what it’s like to be eloquently at bliss in silence ~ untouched by uncertainties, uninfluenced by enigmatic anthems, nevermore misled by miscellaneous musings ~ this ink longs to feel the pulse of paradise, to be clothed in the fabric of faith, stirring my soul to seek the sun, to adorn my purified presence with eagle-spirited feathers of an unshakable phoenix ~ glowing in rose-diamond fire, rising in radiant realization, lead my heart to a landscape of lucidity… Tonight, I must hold my moon against the darkness, allowing neon sparks to unclog the clouds carrying grief, and choreograph a seraphic choir where every rhythm of music ignites flames of fortitude, like bursting embers of truth, touching my spirit with the Almighty Creator’s mellifluence, walking my silhouette toward the luminous night of absolute nirvana…

A shedding of sorrows that have spent their songs, and stragems exhausted on the pit coals of pity, She stands not on bruised feet, rather, She stands on spirit supplanting grief...J.A.B. Congratulations Poetess for being recognized as the Great Writer that you truly Are..."To be clothed in the fabric of faith..." powerful!

This is a sure classic.... ! Great lines and a powerful supplication to God the Almighty to lead you into light. Love the third stanza. "this ink longs to feel the pulse of paradise, to be clothed in the fabric of faith, stirring my soul to seek the sun, to adorn my purified presence with eagle-spirited feathers of an unshakable phoenix ~ " Wow... just superb. If I write in my own language, it can hardly express what you meant.

How inviting are your azure skies and the warmth of cashmere dreams. You've hit some plateaus to be recognized in your lines of a pathless path. Certainly, to have clothed yourself in the fabric of faith while walking the blissful path to find your nirvana. You have so many memorable lines that I chose to use some of them in my comments. Hoping that was ok, for no better compliment could I give you than to use your own wistful wandering words.

"I’ve long been paralyzed ~ helplessly suspended in pathological lies, a prisoner of poetry, scribbling perplexed perspectives, unaware of how every metaphor manifests the melody of the mind" -- Great poetry. Love it. Poetry has its roots in our spiritual psyche. "this ink longs to feel the pulse of paradise, to be clothed in the fabric of faith," -- Great live sense and imagery. All about letting go, surrender. God will do the rest, pour into you and out of you all you desire by way of your 3rd eye, pituitary gland. The process is easy, learning to meditate properly was a many year challenge for me. Dangerous to open psychic centers without knowledgeable purification. Voice of experience, not book learning.

hey I see you got inspired to do this one. You write so well on these themes, Ink. I think you will score easily with this. I always loved the word mellifulence. And of course, all the phrases Lioness below pointed out, they were outstanding. I am going to try this one before it closes out but I don't know how to do it at all right now. (who is this funny Lioness?)
