Let Your Bliss Find You

When you looked for it... and never found it... that does not mean it does not exist~


"Let Your Bliss Find You"

A warmth overcame the chill
in the softly lit room.
It was as if , in a subtle  and yet
breathless moment's pause ,
love triumphed over loneliness

The midnight oil flickered
dancing teasingly ~
while the playful flame drew life
from within the contents 
of its awakening sphere
near the drafty window sill

The rocking chair breaks the silence
as it creaks to the rhythm
of the unsteady flash of light ,
bequeathed  by the burning log's cinders

In the silence of the peaceful presence ,
one chunk of green maple sizzles ,
sputtering out into the timbre's pace ;
a short respite of thankful solitude ~

Embers smoldering…
as if they were trapped
in an arresting instant
of purposeful awakening

Just the bad timing of fate
in a human sense ...
In the right place
at the wrong time seeking purpose.

The glow of the fire’s luminosity,
tantalized the back-lit profile ,
painting it’s shadow
on the opposite wall

A dark silhouette exhaled a deep sigh
with the throb of the dark night’s tone
The chair’s bent oak runners groaned
while dove tailed joints squeaked
with an impatient restless tempo

The soul’s aura gave off a soothing ,
peaceful depth of reflection ;
expressions seldom understood
by those unwilling to look beyond
the seemingly obvious colour

Thoughts flashed * * * * *
with the pulse of a beating heart
Day dreams manifest like cinema
on the four walls imprisoning lonliness

Life is a magnificent puzzle
Even well into the long journey 
good things can happen ;
when you've looked for what seems missing ,
even though needed perspective was never found ,
it does not mean it does not exist ...

"Allow faith in the eternal dream never ending"...
Instead of finding your bliss ~
... let your bliss find you …

...and so it goes
...and so it goes
you're the only one that knows...
