My Pleasured Chosen Life
Morning silence releases me
from the burden of thought,
as I drift in the serene cacophony of emptiness,
soon to be filled by waking day,
yet now, in my moment,
I languish in this pure state,
when distraction sleeps in
and I alone with but a beating heart,
and little more.
The sun shines, clouds gather
and birds sings somewhere,
but here I am removed,
attuned yet parted,
as even thought seeks no play
in the silence of being;
and energy grows within
surging from earth in a silent din,
powerful and revitalizing.
As the buzz of silence grows,
as if attuned to every possibility,
the elevating certainty of day’s begin,
a distant bark or a crow on high
ends this pleasured moment,
and life as if to say Hi!
is welcomed into mind,
and my heartbeat fades into anonymity,
drowned by life’s embark.
Beyond my curtains,
a world so fresh I cannot mesh
with its familiarity, a new day
its breath my anticipation,
as thoughts cascade and tasks
somehow mark my beginning,
my steps dared by future,
fueled by past
and living in present moments.
Plans collate, my body wakes,
and movement sees
the glee in my attention,
animals to feed,
my pleasured care for their needs,
and souls look to me,
for solace and a smile,
in this my world
my pleasured chosen life.

Such beautiful moments, between sleep of the night and awakening to the day, to just be with Self, the little souls patiently waiting have faith in knowing you will care for them soon. A lovely verse, Tony, so serene with beautiful expression. Take care.
So pleased you enjoyed it Phyllis, yes my little tribe of fury friends await my consciousness every day, sometimes a little bit prematurely. lol. But I wouldn’t change a thing. Take care dear poet.
