Blooming blossoms, whispering wind
Carried me far into the haven of peace
Solitude softly spoke in serene tone,
We welcome weary travelers alone
Divesting dirty robes of dissent
We revel in the glorious sun
You too can embrace this light
Just follow it with smiling delight
The light that enlightens the mind
The light that permeates all around
Adds new dimension to thoughts
Guides us out of those knobby knots
Illumines those innate virtues
When we try to shake them off
In annoyance, in rage, in resentment
Leisurely hours are wistfully spent
Rejoicing in the new found glee
We sat and shared upon His knee
Palpable peace pervaded all around
Into which all dismay drowned.

Lovely poem Balroop! About finding happiness in peace and serenity of a lonely desert. I like the use of alliteration throughout the poem.
Thank you Alka. Happiness is not a ‘destination’ and therefore the journey continues… 🙂
Very beautiful Balroop. I have been away on my travels these past three weeks; it’s good to come back to such a delicious work. All best wishes, Hariod. ❤
Hi Hariod,
Welcome back dear friend, hope you enjoyed those travels and share some of those lovely moments through your erudite articles. I am glad you found this poem worthy of your appreciation. I value your opinion immensely.
Thanks 🙂
I love these last two lines “Palpable peace pervaded all around
Into which all dismay drowned.” I’m working my way there, Balroop.
Hi Lisa, I am glad you are progressing to the oasis of peace. Slow and steady wins the race may be a cliche but so true!
Thanks for your kind words.
Wonderfully done Balroop ~ the feeling in this piece is truly peaceful as I get set for another week of travel and work. “The light that enlightens the mind, The light that permeates all around, Adds new dimension to thoughts, Guides us out of those knobby knots” Words that can be used in just about any situation life throws at you ~ especially photography 🙂
Wish you a great week!
Hi Randall,
Thanks for perceiving peace…hope it travels with you and merges into your wonderful photography! Looking forward to another masterpiece collage of two Ps…photography and philosophy.
Stay blessed. Hope you too have a nice week. 🙂
Cheers to you and thank you ~
