Wonderful

How much I thirst for it
To see this beautiful light
Dancing within inside
In a moment
I'm filled with awe and wonder
Delight and satisfaction

But then I want to tell you
Thank you
For this amazing gift of sight
In your kindness
You have bestowed on me
Let me celebrate it
With all my heart

This gentle music
Playing forever onward
It holds my deepest concentration
So pristine and perfect
It's never-ending song of joy
Excites me to my very core
I could never have imagined
That in this dull vessel
Such brilliant heartfelt magic
could exist

Oh happy heart
Be still enough
To feel that breath
Beating through you
That joyous play inside
Brings so much peace
All other feelings and emotions
Fall so short
Of that amazing feeling
To be alive
To feel this life
Excellent.

Please tell me what you think

    Amazing

    The light you are talking about, I clearly feel, is of enlightenment. If you have feel for it most congratulations. Because I hanker after so much for this in vain and know how difficult and precious it is! WONDERFUL!!

    Being alive allows us to love someone, love that feeling of being joyful and of all the emotions one goes through during their lifetime. Liked the flow of these lines and the sentiments you have expressed so well here.

    This is soo beautiful, amazingly from a gentle heart! Your poem feels like a song play on a piano. When you see the light because of someone close, it's like learning to play all the keys. The high ones as well the low. Love these lines -
    Of that amazing feeling
    To be alive
    To feel this life
    Excellent.
    Feels like you are learning to play a new instrument with a wide range of wonderful emotions, the lowest bass notes and the light chiming of the high trebble. Your poems is profundly grateful! I am totally amazed!

    Your message within this finely crafted verse exudes love of the life force felt of the author's own.And the one it addresses.I once told someone,"I love the life in you". They looked puzzled.So I had to explain how feeling their sense of alive elated me.Wonderful verse.

    Oh this is such an amazing and wonderful write...you lived up to the title of your poem...I loved the flow of your poem...and the vivid words that you've used...like "pristine and perfect" and "never-ending joy"...to name a few...and I do agree with you that 'to be alive is such an amazing feeling' that people should not be taken for granted...
