Serenity.




.............I have known this, felt this upon me, warm, as a lover's breath, a touch soft and wanting, needing then, I have stood upon It's shores, felt It's cool wind upon my brow, I have reached for it, as I have reached to no other, It's arms are fleeting, moving slowly from me, I move unto It, It cannot hear me, does not know I am there, I can close my eyes, breath softly, regain this, touch once more upon this, know this truly........

.............A Meadow, soft and lush as such as I have never known, so welcome here, smell the fragrance of the flowers, wild, untamed, free then, fill me with your beauty, I can feel you all, your colors true upon my eyes, brilliant, I can touch you all, hold you in my hands, time is not, time is fleeting, unreal unto me, unknown in this moment True......

.............A pond, alive, soothing in the sun, cold but refreshing, meant, dark, but so full of life, a mist, calm and lazy, hangs near in watch, hiding, I cannot breath, but for the beauty, rise from those comforting arms.....

.............A Path, lost then in the mist, receding, beckons me on, to follow, come it whispers, know of me, this place grows old, follow then, ever so slowly, know of It's mystery, Serenity it calls, come forth now, bend and feel my Earth, smell and you will see me, with eyes closed now, hold this, hold this moment within, that you will always find me........

............I follow, eyes closed, I know the way without knowing, find the way without finding, I am eyes now, floating within the welcome home of Our Mother, trees move aside that She will show me of Truth, the blue sky above, such warmth, hold, moonlight cannot bathe, it's silver shower fleeting, She whispers to me, I whisper back, Welcome She speaks with no voice, Thank you I speak with my own......

.............A Mountain, tells me of Age, tells me of Eyes, unmoving, uncaring I believe, so wrong, sorrow I hear, lonely that place so far, cold there, I am small, I am one, The Mountain knows, wisdom, thank you I say unto this moment, the mountain sleeps, the mountain knows of us all.........

.............The wind, it touches so softly, I am of it, I know this, I am Within, soaring, I did not know of you, your softness, your touch so cool upon me, again, I am held, close now, my eyes close, I do not need them here, I am thought, I am all things yet none, I am drifting, falling, caught, I rise, no thought now, no place, but Here.......


I smile

I am serenity

I am home.

    This is a great - proem? prose poem? - whatever its form, it employs beautiful imagery to combine mind and nature, in a write that is rich and sensual - everything a spiritual poet may be. Good luck in the contest.

    (In response to the question - what would you suggest etc - I would look again at the final three lines, the use of ellipses and capitals.)

    Wonderful images created in these lines - the words bring pictures to mind and they are easy to visualize. Easy to red and understand; serenity indeed.
