Satori
I sat staring at the wide open spaces,
Leafing through my tears and fears,
Seeing I was a part of, and above
All that would slay me.
But then a small child passed
And asked, as a child will ask,
"Who is that Mummy?"
A satori had seized me
An instantaneous jump.
I was pulled, whole minded,
Into the purity of innocence.
And released into that world
I rose on a cloud of pure bliss.

Hello tyro, lovely poem. I relate to that childlike innocence, all too soon lost. But there is bliss, as you so deftly end your poem.
Thank you, Gracy

Dear tyro
I thought I've lost all my friends at the queen's tables. Finding you here lifted up my spirits. I definitely looking forward to reading more of your thoughtful works.
