Thoughts Running Free 2

a thought of beauty scared away by negative thought
is easily bought as if given free
only to put on hold the bold
a thought so beautiful an angels breathe 
could carry it across time
in a gentle rain shower

all living things could then feel its beauty
and be one with this beauty
which might strive to be alive
to share the air with all that lives
the beauty says, “I’ve seen things eyes have never seen
more beautiful than a rainbow in a waterfall

I tell you of things I’ve heard
melodies so pure as to melt the strings of a harp
while transcending the harpist and audience
to states of mind and emotion never before visited
open your minds and allow the essence of life
to dilute the sin nature of physical existence

imagine the soul as it reveals itself
beyond the limitations of the body
be your soul end the struggle
accept the oneness of being
you are a part of all that is
all that surrounds you, you also surround

blend in let your existence be noted 
by your extraordinaire ability
to be congruent with all that is alive
with all that that is
you may become aware that the best of you
it actually the rest of you

It's not as enjoyable when I write like I'm at work, pressing all the time. Bill

Jay Narain Date: 8/19/2025 9:51:00 AM This poem is a luminous meditation on beauty’s power to transcend negativity, time, and isolation. It whispers—and sometimes soars—about connection, soulfulness, and the quiet transformation of being. There’s a subtle yet expansive wisdom in your words that invites readers to pause, breathe, and feel the pulse of being alive.
