Awakened

The soul travels deeper

And finds some treasures

Floating in the river

Of eternal bliss.

    I love how you explored the different layers of awareness and the connection to the universe. It’s like, we’re all part of something bigger, but also, we’re just trying to figure out our own little slice of reality. Your writing is so introspective; it feels like you’re inviting the reader to join you on a philosophical journey. I’m definitely going to be pondering this one for a while. It’s like you’ve opened up a whole new can of worms in my brain! I appreciate you tackling such a complex subject with such clarity. You’ve got a way of making the abstract feel tangible.

    I can visualize this river of eternal bliss that you talked about in your poem.

    Sometimes, our thoughts, emotions and other treasures struggle below the surface of the water. It is only in moments of peace, when they finally come to the surface, that we find bliss.

    Lovely poem. Do drop by mine.

    Cheers,

    Exploring our inner selves helps us discover enlightenment from our thoughts. The river of eternal bliss is a lovely metaphor. To achieve this, one must reach a state of awakening. Thanks for the message.
