***


To cross the river of indifference

I will swim right into awareness

where all the whirling stops

and the heart wins over the mind.

Where perceptions flow free

like crystal clear waterfalls,

bringing the gift of lucidity

revealing the perfect reality.


There is more to life than
what meets the eye ...



To touch the very essence

in which all life is rooted

I’ll call upon the great silence

and upon the vast void.

I’ll cut all the boundaries

which define my illusions.

I will ban from my soul

all the melancholy accumulated

in endless nights of longing.


There is more to life than
what meets the eye ...



I know for I have caught a glimpse

of those portals to eternity

while I explored ethereal routes

on iridescent wings of butterfly.


Like ripe red apples glowing on a tree

the stars twinkle on the firmament

inviting me to decode their mystery.

I transcend the known itineraries

and in audacious determination

I move into Life, I move into You.

You took the reader (me) down a path of emotional and physical feelings. For sometimes when you read certain phrases you get such a charge out of it, that it becomes softly physical. There were a couple like that in this beauty.

Thank you, dear Ebonygirl, for telling me you enjoyed this, as it matches your own experience. Go go girl for the more, it calls out for you!

Thank you so much, dear Jerry. It feels good to hear that you had those softly physical reactions in reading my words. That's the key test ... I am happy when I can cause a certain emotion in the reader.

Dear JL, thank you so much for your loving comment. To be audacious and determined is always a great advantage in reaching our goals.

Love,
Margherita
