Array ( [sid] => 180554 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Enlightenment [time] => 2015-02-15 04:41:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => With the gentle ascention of the smoke from the incense
My body did rise from its unskilful actions
And looked down upon the suffering they had born
And wept for them with the grace of a Buddha

With the purfumed air of the spiritual life
My speech did fall silent
Yet spoke a million words of truth
Only known to that of a Buddha

With the clearing of the smoke
My mind did disolve its clouds
And clarity shone brightly
Illuminating what had been dark
To show that all was one
And always had been one. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 212 [topic] => 62 [informant] => spiritbody [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => spiritual )

And looked down upon the suffering they had born
And wept for them with the grace of a Buddha

With the clearing of the smoke
My mind did disolve its clouds
And clarity shone brightly
Illuminating what had been dark
To show that all was one
And always had been one.

Very cool! I love the use of the stilting effect to convey a sense of a 'revealing' of some import.

Very well done, and I agree with your content.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
