Serenity.

The winds within have granted me
A blissful and past due serenity.
Skies begin to blush and the gray
Is finally chased from my mournful eyes.

Locked internal doors open
Draw back the curtains and let in
A warm summer breath,
I am floating on the surface of
Motionless and mirrored water,
Feeling the sun on my skin.

Eyes closed.
Mind poised like a dancer on one toe.
Sssssslllllip into the recesses of my soul
Dig for an epiphany and find beauty
In solitude.

Light filters through dusty windows
Landing on a pale face and shadowed corners,
Bringing high noon to an endless midnight.

Silence, motionlessness,
A pure and brilliant peace,
Where the gales have stopped wailing
And I can finally hear the music,
Where the rain has stopped pouring
And I am warm again.

Center gravity upon my own core,
Erect not walls around myself but
Gossamer curtains,
I observe the world but remain happily
Lost in my innermost thoughts.

Absolute tranquility and
Sitting still as a tower of stones.
Nourish the gardens of the heart,
Tend to the orchards of the mind.
I will take my spirit's hand and
Follow it deeper into my own skies.

wonderful experience as your poem leads me in meditation of tranquility and silence ... love the distractions of stone and water and dancer etc. as i see them and let them go ...each line for me is a stopping point ...so glad i found this one Leaf!

This sounds like a perfect state of mind or existence. Her in Michigan the winds are whipping and below zero. Valentine
