Tranquility

For a few hushed moments. I sat in solitude

Watching majestic mountains, Giving gratitude

The silence so refreshing, Quietening the mind

My soul nourishing, Answers I could find

In meditative Zenning, Perhaps a connection I did make
A spark of self healing, In a Divinely loving state

I liked that quiet moment, When serenity prevailed
Tranquility so potent, Renewal it entailed

But did it really happen, Did I reach that heavenly state
Was it something I imagined, Regardless I celebrate

Midweek Motif - Tranquility (poem to be limited to 3-17 lines in any form)

With Real Toads - Celebrate something that never happened. In my poem the "never happened" is more a question of did it really happen or did I imagine it.

Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation)

Written for:  Poet's United Mid Week Motif  and  Poetry Jam

Mid Week Motif - Newness
In 75 words or less: A New Year.  Again.  Are you a fan of "new"? Or are you tired of the whole idea of "new," preferring the tried and true? 

Poetry Jam - Fire
So what does fire mean to you 

When I first saw the fire prompt, the first thing that came into my head was the sun. I start each day with the Surya Namaskar so combining the two prompts I came up with:

The fiery rays of the sun

Heralds a new day

I bow in reverence

And duly pray

Surya Dev

May we feel your warmth

May your light shine bright

As we go forth

May our minds be illuminated

Like you light up the earth

May our thoughts be enlightened

And to new ideas give birth

Let each day begin

With the Surya Namaskar

Let us reflect your light

Like the moon and the stars.

Freedom

My soul is trapped or so it seems

In a body where restriction teems

It feels like it is disconnected

Torn, tattered and fragmented

I must find a way to free my soul

From the clutches of life's control

Stitch it up and keep it together

Yet break free from unyielding tether

In quiet solitude I sit still

But noises around me seem so shrill

Turbulent thoughts shake my resolve

I quietly pray so they may dissolve

Slowly chatter around me fades

Through the mire my mind it wades

Something lifts and oh it lightens

A serene connection to Spirit heightens

I am floating like a feather

Earth and Heaven come together

The scattered fragments slowly bind

Enlightened is the feeble mind

Body and soul merge like one

The mind no longer on the run

Seems I've suddenly found the key

To set my restless spirit free

Freedom freedom cries my soul

Life is beautiful, and I am whole.

Meditation is freedom!

Garden of Dreams

image by Evgeni Dinev http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/

A beautiful meadow surrounded by hills

A waterfall gentle and grand

A place in nature where I connect with Spirit

Where the answers I seek are found 

A place for poor children, safe and fun

Making their wishes come true

Down by the seaside surrounded with palm trees

Watching the ocean blue

This is the path that my soul wants to tread on

This is the way to my bliss

I sit in quiet meditation in my garden of dreams

Walking the road that is His
