I surrender my pain to the soul of the universe
to look beyond the illusion of emptiness, that besieges my heart.
My teary emotions dry under the illumination
of the starry moon dust.
My closed eyes watch a display of snippets of life
unfold a scenic panorama.
I anchor on to light of trust
as the dark shadows of hurt begin to recede.
I harvest a refulgent slice of peace
from the abundance of the cosmic energy,
in gratitude .

“illusion of emptiness” Perfect phrase to describe a temporary low mood. Gratitude removes this illusion. Brilliant! ❤ Uplifting poem, Radhika. Stay safe!

I have actually felt this emptiness which I later realised it only illusionary, many a time. With acceptance, trust and gratitude one meets peace. Thanks for understanding the essence of the poem so well Cheryl ❤️❤️

It is always a win win situation for us, if we do that Sadje. But many of us lock up the pain in our hearts and carry the burden of that emotional baggage.
Thanks a lot for your kind appreciation. 💙❤️

Very very beautiful and peaceful poem Radhika. I wish I read it for the first time in the evening, but I could always read is again 🙂 standing below the vast universe, looking up is always so uplifting to a soul which is feeling down. Your poem triggers similar feelings Radhika, very soothing and calming!
