Subtle winds release sequestered spirits. Drifting determinedly down a restless river beneath a veiled-light mountain, a solitary soul seeks solace. Thoughts float downstream, ruffling the river-surface flow past hidden eddies and agendas, numerous but benign boulder-boundaries that threaten to delay a seeker's departure from would-be stagnant shallows. Time and thoughts travel timeless subtle winds toward a universal sea, seeking transcendence in seas of tranquility. |

Timeless subtle winds...that's a great phrase. And to speak of transcendence, a very deep and cool poem to read. |

Thanks for taking a moment to read and reply. Meditation helps free the mind from the daily mind-grind of 'reality' moments. |

Thoughts float downstream, ruffling the river-surface flow past hidden eddies and agendas, This was the best part of this. I would make a great opening stanza. |

I guess that's where we all want to be heading.From a turbulent river(not sure you saw it that way)to a pacified ocean. A beautiful dream, but oceans are rarely subdued, especially where they meet rivers. But I'm with you, in the beautiful dream. |

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, poet friends! (Osprey, true enough. Poetry allows us to 'tweak' the imagery, find new interpretations to 3D reality. LOL) |
