Utopia

in this world 
          of chaos 
               and unrest,

                    we long to 
                         drift away 
                               from it all...

                           mentally 
                      to a place 
                 idyllic;

            unsullied
       to live in 
  absolute

       harmony, 
            but alas 
                  such place of...

                        peacefulness 
                              remains an...
                                   illusion

Unseeking Seeker April 18, 2023 at 2:20 PM A superbly crafted poem, Edward! Warmest congratulations on your win! The peace we seek lies in the cave of our heart, wherefrom desires arise and that too is the place where silence infuses bliss in permanence, renewing like our breath … if we be but still, free from clutches of ego spawned thought
