In a state of perpetual rain In the eye of a hurricane Spinning out of proportion Relentless continual motion Transcended Up ended Illusive Blurred image. In a state of constant bliss A sane thought, a wish Total absolution Over compensation Miss a date Still come late Speculate Escalate. In a state of utter confusion Easily descend into disillusion Mistaken for Divine Revelation Nothing more than revolution Problematic solution Turn to restitution Disseminate Reiterate. Into a state in which you can relate Which lately Hasn’t been easy Winds been too breezy Escape to a higher plain Just maintain Get back to the mountain Drink from the fountain Fly, dragonfly Fly away Fly, butterfly Come my way Land, hummingbird Land wherever you wish Which state do you really miss? Please whisper heavenly bliss. DWB © MMX

I love the creativeness of this poem, D Johnson is right, the creative spark has hit the den, and I am so glad that I challenged everyone! It was the intended result that I was looking for, to wake up this den and get everyone fired up...We all needed this!!!!

Much peace, love, and light,
Amber

Douglas, in the state of being has certainly brought out the creative spark in many poets, including yours.

Cheers,
Dan
