Silent Freedom

by Glenn Currier

I drift slowly
above the cavern floor
light as fog caressing the river
but free from its vast density.

I am the breath of peace.
Its quiescence suffuses me.

Through the ceiling's crust
a small hand waving a yellow card
as if to beckon to its busyness.

But its allure does not mar
this silent freedom.

Temptation is everywhere, but it's a wonderful feeling to know that you can turn away. Currently, it's not the yellow card that's bother me...it's the ice cream bar.

I feel like I was there with you. Well done!

Glenn, in this quiet environ of words you have captured a serenity to die for.

Charming and delicate verse, Glenn. Perhaps symbolic of how fragile life truly is. I love the third stanza. Peace...

Freedon cannot have a language. As a matter of fact the language is a chain, which binds you to the so called known. The unknown cannot have a language. And yes, I AM is the breath of peace. There's freedom in AMNESS and peace is the byproduct.

Often strange what feelings/visions come to us in meditation. You capture the mystery of it yet keep the sense of peace and detachment of it well in this calming work.

The flow of this poem feels like someone waking up from a dream... I believe the word surreal was used already but that definately describes it well... good job
