pillowing in peace
in lulls of a humming mind
no chaotic grunge
inhaled and infused
cool scents of blooming freshness
tepid seclusion
sans confines, I glide..
Written for:

drizzled with springing freshness
joys knowing no bounds

Ahh…like one of those seeds that can float for miles on a single puff. It’s so delicate, if you touch it, it will disintegrate. Very nice.

dragonkatet said:
This was beautiful, Kavita. I like the alliteration and assonance you used in this – it makes it better, I think. It’s hard, sometimes, to turn the mind “off”, hm? 🙂
Kavita said:
You bet it’s tough to switch the mind “off” for a bit.. but when it does, it’s all worth it.. in fact, even the mind feels better after a break 🙂
Glad you liked this one, dragonkatet… thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words..
xoxo
Reggie said:

Glad you liked this one, my friend..
Olivia said:
Peaceful.. Softly flowing.. Blissful..
