Notes About The Poem

Thoughts At Rest

Thoughts at rest, erst fears and desires recede
We dwell in peace, with joy our trusty steed
No attachment borne loads, burden our chest
We breeze merrily through life, like a fest
Abandoning greed, living as of need

In stillness we watch the seeds of love breed
Currents divine, each node of form do feed
Teleported thus, to zenith bliss crest
Thoughts at rest

Awareness self-aware, a pristine creed
Love suffused embrace, in both word and deed
Acting no longer at ego’s behest
Enacts this earth life role, in mindful jest
Follows pulse divine, letting conscience lead
Thoughts at rest

I enjoyed your "Thoughts at rest" and picture. Wish I was on that boat of yours. Our minds and thoughts need to take a day off from time to time. Have a Blessed Christmas and 2022.......................
