Nirvana

A gift of silence fro me to you!

An illusion of the mind is what I call lunacy

 High strung ideas, ego crouched under the surface

Thoughts weaving patterns that have no basis,

 in the early mist of daybreak

 ideas ...like vapors penetrating through cracks of our brain 

Who is here to hear our logic? 

Hours spent contriving plans of generic concepts, to convince who ? 

we all have our own intricate movies playing, portraying our muses

 

Oh come, try to see things as they are

A tree for example..... is it just a tree in your eyes ?

What preconceived notions do you have about it

 I spend many days trying to separate the tree from me

I spent many weeks feeling my emotional turmoil

I spent hours listening to my heartbeat

I realized many things, during my time spent in silence

eventually I was able to separate the tree from me

eventually I saw you as just you, and me as me

eventually I was able to hear my heartbeat loud and clearly

in the stillness of my mind, I mastered time as it ticked

now I can see the wind fill the tree with life

I pick out a melody playing in my heart

and I can love you, simply for you

and my life has transformed from

colorless to nirvana

Was my pleasure and you are welcome. Meditation is needed in our wild world.

outstanding. you've outdone yourself on this. i sense a taste of Thoreau in this. philosophical & the oneness with nature. reminds me of, “The silence sings. It is musical. I remember a night when it was audible. I heard the unspeakable.” - Thoreau
you should be very proud of this one Hebe for it is wonderful. 100/100

i never realized how much our thoughts/feelings and writing styles are similar. we just seem to 'click'. and we have Thoreau in common. thanks for sharing this. your friend always. :)
