yesterdays longings
burned on fire of night's sleep
I woke up
world full of beauty
that black bird fluttering in sky
as if joy knew no bounds.
why do you enclose and define
immeasurable in measure,
thoughts limiting beauty
giving our own notation.
what a glory this morning brought
yesterday's deep sleep
cleared my cluttered mind
all sublime flowing in
without a thought to interpret.
when our egos alone matter
mornings turn dark
as if eternal eclipse in sky
while Sun shines bright.
moments are filled with freshness
only if we let go past
as flowing river does,
without holding to itself
sparkling water
turn them algae.

Beautiful lines here...
A sound sleep can do wonders among other things lol..My son has kept me awake since 3 am today!
On a more serious note, beauty is around, we need to let go of many things to absorb it...can be done!
