Best Hiatus Poems

Today, the sun shone brightly over our shores.
Peering over the forest and meeting the cores
We share fundamental truths across the waterways.
across the grasslands, then onto the Himalayas.

Past somatic feelings are cognitively preserved.
Spirit is the natural extension of cognition.
Spirit and mind foresee the body, the spirit...

I held my breath as long as I could
Until my lungs began to burn
I forgot my Tibetan embodiments
And gave breathing again, a turn

O, I held my breath and waited for you
From October, till Winter’s depth
Yet you could not say
On any day
That your heart held any...

This year I took a hiatus from life,                                     ...

I usually trust easily
In consonance with my faith
I believe what I do not know
Listening for you to tell me go
Over the fence of ignorance
She was one country
I should not enter blind
Yet waiting indeterminate
Must also be a proof of faith...

Of those that I knew
Was certain it would be you
Who I loved so true.

What a way to be
Close together you and me
And we both agree.

When we took a trip
Which was on a sailing ship
Hearts a beat did skip.

Day turned out real great
Go again can hardly...

(Note: I am going on a journey to Yunnan, China 
from May 18 to 28 -- to explore the wonders there.
My poetry posting will resume when I come back.)

Mysterious realms;
Places in time

Manifold possibilities;
Fragrant surprises


Here we go again,
My sweetheart and...

If Jane carries heavy bags
She feels sharp pain
Whether she sits up
Or laying in bed
Heaviness she feels
A rock on her chest
This is called a Hiatus
    hernia
In time it gets worse
It'll be hard to breeze
That is when relief is
     found
Surgery...

Handling hoards of patient everyday
Each depressed ,fearing death
Asking same questions

Colleagues dying, patients dying
Death lurking in the corner
Not sure of own fate

A hectic schedule since more than a year
Physically tired, mentally exhausted
It is not easy still they continue to serve

Full time PPE, mask on
Handling patients with...

Against pressures of daily demands
my physique yields to debilitating energy...
…thus, I admit need for invigoration
to relax with serenity’s bliss, nestling in God’s strength 
cuddled by His wondrous pampering presence
while rejuvenated through reverberating Gospel music
filling my haven’s retreat-room
securing me complete rest toward functionality's brace. 

Amidst rigors...

In my days of wonder
War was just a concept
Peace was like a shadow
Creeping on my lawn

Love was like a fire 
On a sleepy morning 
When the snow is falling
Tapping at my door

In my youth I loved him 
Like I loved the Springtime
Flowers in the sunshine
Pebbles...

(alternately titled: tongue in cheek humor
cuz the following hyperbole
from this pencil necked baby boomer
without intent to badmouth,
nor start unfounded rumor,
who chalks, i.e. attributes gobbledygook
to funny bone tumor).

Impossible mission maneuvering around
soiled clothes pile
floor to ceiling humongous mound
terse reply hopefully adequately sound
to convincingly doth explain
absent poet buried...

Thought cessation, welcome interruption 
The zone of polarity rotation 
Quietude the door, allowing Gods grace
On stretching stillness, at an easy pace 
Long thought hiatus, our meditation 

We are empowered for co-creation
Our intent colours manifestation
Path simple, so let us cut to the chase
Thought cessation

Lower mind resting,...

Life keeps going to find his purpose
he strolls across verdant plains and trudges up the hills
sometimes dejection follows rejection and distress
darkness engulfs
and something spooky emerges 
looming large to form something horrid…
a hideous hunchbacked hiatus.
Life slows down…wary of the 
impending hindrances for his progress
and there is...

Winter comes, be numb
Cold chaos, long hiatus
Hidden from the sun...

Fourty six years since our lives collided,
on sand swept paths, mostly sunny, some blighted.
I was taking a hiatus from men.
You came to rent a room in my heart.
It wasn't open back then.
A struggling, single mom with a young son.
There wasn't much space for any other...
