Transcendence

When imbalance of life churns hapless poignancy And the zephyr of inequities breezes melancholy Dissonance reverberates echoing pathos of grief Seeking exaltation within metaphysical profundity As hushed posture conjures up humbling catharsis, Leaning in quietude, questing paranormal vitality, Liberating from bounds of mundane, the ordinary, Energizing calming bliss of unfamiliar, extrasensory. Mortal soul steadily crosses limits of understanding Reaching deep into unknown, unexplored territory, Daring to search for knowledge in mystical obscurity Pursuing enlightenment from supernatural intrigue, Discovering newfound acuity blossoming internally Adulating freedom of shedding narrow boundaries Gaining divine wisdom, postulating own doctrines, Comprehending missives in blissfulness of sagacity. As laments mellow in teachings of superior intellect And bawl of distraught soothes in heavenly solace Finding ambrosial tranquility in endearing calmness, Physiological longings amiably, peacefully dissipate And gradually soul enlightens, unafraid of mortality, Yearning for permanence of purposeful inviolability, Meaningful beyond self, detaching from materiality, Synchronizing harmoniously in idyllic, placid sanctity. January 21, 2022 Placed 1st: This or That, Vol 9 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Title chosen: Transcendence

Vijay, I like the feeling of wise meditative writing you do ( my dad's Dad, dhadha, was a self- taught Oandit in South Africa). Few on earth can match brahmins love if learning. May I say, it shows best in you. PTL

Great flow of thoughts in this beautiful verse on spiritual transcendence Vijayji... "Discovering new found acuity blossoming internally", loved this line... the first time we realize our own selves, it is new found spark of knowledge of the Universal Truth. The last stanza is just amazing.. " physiological longings amiably peacefully dissipate... ", it's so true... at such a state of the final stage of spiritual transcendence, though I haven't experienced personally, maybe, that is how it is... the soul enlightens gradually... synchronizing harmoniously with the Ultimate Knowledge... Felt so blissful reading your as always amazing words... God bless... Ani
