PEACE



From naked spontaneities of mind
and oscillating tides of gentle love
those precious times once felt do now entwine
familiar scents and sounds from home above.

Perfection's gaze descends upon soft face
for true humility is born to all.
Inaction stopped, the inner gates asway,
what breach of thought will full release our call.

When "I" retires then bliss shines unabashed,
perception built of trained duality
completely dissipates in one black flash.
Time travels nerves, but "now" embraces me.

Replenished heart afloat in splendrous light
all newborns know their inner crib's delight.
