The world is mine now
and yet I am quiet,
groping, then guided anxiously
like a plant to light
beyond a dark immediate interlude.
The memory of essence past
dulls, coagulates,
engulfs an urgent void.
The senses steeled, catapult, rebound,
intensely echo,
writhe, melt, absorb
a creamy deja-vu.
As the Zen poem questions
"How does one place a noise?"
The world is mine now
and quiet I'll remain.

Thought provoking peace
Certainly worth rereading and pondering.
Well done!

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Nicely done, Craig...
A very quiet poem, but it left me with a great big impression!
