In the sunset tones of thought
symphony of visions
slowly arouses the feet of the soul.
Ballet of ethereal melodies
flows through the consciousness
painting luminous notes upon the spirit.
Taking steps of pirouette poignancy
through a karmic dance hall.
Where silence swallows the distractions
and being alone is euphoria instead of fear.
Vacancy in sensations
washes mind free from the clutter
of plotting social gnomes and demon glitter.
In the void a new song rises
giving an epiphany waltz unto the brain.
Stepping gracefully
upon the floor of silvery seconds,
feeling more complete and whole
despite the crippling apprehension
which first haunted the darkness,
discovering life's orchestra of meaning,
hushing the sobs of loneliness.

just awesome ...
not only did you use a great lot of my favorite poetic and spiritual words in order to create this masterful poem, but you hit the target in a very unexpected and graceful manner ... what I would have expressed through "telling", you did through "showing", using amazing imagery and metaphor ...
obviously, you are a masterpoet(ess) and I am delighted to read such an inspiring and technically impressive poem ...
thank you,
maa
