Zephyr of deep enchantment
whisper softly through winters limbs
and mystery lies like fine mist
suspended in ethereal realm.
This kingdom of illusion
where hearts search in perfect prayer
and yearning souls discover
truth upon enlightenments path.
Do not explore your inner faith
unless sincerity is the goal,
for cloathed under deceits mantle
winds of emptiness shall blow.
Epiphany of genuine revelation
within valleys of picturesque wonder
will catch the heartbeat upon each sigh
surrounded within hushed domain.
To seek and find contentment
within contrasts rainbowed cloak
shows surely quest is completed
as wisps of revelation breathe.

I liked zephyr of deep enchantment, whisper through winters limbs, fine mist of ethereal realm, all of stanza 2, do not explore your inner faith unless sincerity is the goal, winds of emptiness shall blow, revelations within valleys catching the heart, contentment within contrasts, wisps of revelation breathe. Nice description of prayer as mystery, enchanted whispers leading to understanding and sighs.
Thank you for your worthy pursuit entry.

"winds of emptiness shall blow" ... the feeling that washed over me as I read that line is just indescribable; your whole write from beginning to end is captivating and richly intense.
Beautiful!

Sigh.. wow.. that's just gorgeous!!! This poem really spoke to me! Especially:
Do not explore your inner faith
unless sincerity is the goal,
I think that is so true.. we cannot search our inner faith if we are doing it with an agenda.. it must be a sincere goal to discover what truly lies within!
LOVE this write!
