An Encounter with Peace

                                                                                                                                                                                        
                                                          
                                                                             Needs satisfied…



Needs…. Needs….
Needs….and Needs….
This….. That……..
This way…..That way…..
This much…..and That much
Oh………… Never Enough!

Tired of seeking
Gasping for breath
Gave up…
Sat down …..
For a rest pause!

The pause not only gave rest,
But also peace and a new direction.
Leading to the silence deep within
‘What was never sought for!’


Seeking stopped...!



*****


PS: Having truth revealed upon, I smiled and the Seeker in me smiled back, waving his hand faded out slowly. He shows off at times but only to disappear into the Silence once again!!

    Needs can be enigmatic sylphs that need a little flying time!

    Beautifully develops to the silent pause of inner peace from a mad rush.

    Thanks for the inspiration for this week's OSI Prema. Beautiful poem. We should remain in a state of peace instead of chasing countless needs.

    How true, Prema! When the mind's all clogged and jammed up, have a pause. A freshness will counter the clutter. Brilliant thoughts!
