ENLIGHTENMENT

I seek to find me,
My self, my spirit,
Within the solace
Of a peaceful afternoon.
Lying beneath blue skies,
Peppered with
Cotton ball clouds,
On a grassy blanket
Amidst heather, bracken
And crackling brush.
The trees whisper
Untold secrets,
Exposing truths, I knew
But had forgotten,
Yet needed to remember.
My heart, revitalized
By such awareness,
Can once again
Keep pace
With my kindred soul.

I am an enigma, even unto myself.
A puzzle unsolved, a mystery maybe until beyond death. ©das

(sigh) May your heart always be enlightened with the robin egg and cotton skies of grace and Gods love, sweet friend, this is precious, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Das, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

What a lovely location you describe to evoke soul searching. Very pretty. Joyce

Living in the desert does not stop my mind from wandering back to the heather laden woods of my childhood. I am inclined to believe that Happy Memories are a great blessing in themselves and I am thankful to have many. Life is good! Thanks to the two of you for the nice words.

I do have some childhood places like this that I return to and that I recall as well. Wonderful that you still have and make opportunity to return there. Wonderful to have such a closeness with nature.... Perhaps I'm a little paranoid, but I still get a bit nervous when those bushes start to crackle. Usually it's just a bird, a squirrel or a deer or something though. Anyway, another nice poem. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you.

Another gentle write, this is just so nice.
