Shweta’s 6 word story prompt #51 : Peace
Profits plummet, stressful life, peace elusive.
Her wealth could not buy peace.
Meditation introduced her to inner peace.
City life today embroils man in an urban mess. His mind clamors against the stress, adding to the din. He buckles under the overwhelming burden of his pregnant thoughts. Fatigue overpowers his listless body. As the energy saps to rock bottom, he decides to take a travel break.
Wandering far, the mystic mountains beckon him. He follows his inner navigational guide to a serene nook in the lap of nature. Meditating there, opens new vistas of the spiritual realm to him. The mist of veil surrounding his clogged mind clears, infusing it with bright sunshine. The inner awakening ignites the psychic inter dimensional vibrations in him. He surrenders to the cosmic call, spends his life in spiritual nirvana.
Basking in the lap of material success,
the hollowness of life haunts him.
Delving inward, a reflective mood envelopes
the law of karma, plays its role
the fragile mind is empowered by divine grace
the soul revels in a sublime yet glorious trance!

At times, what the open eyes fail to see,
closed eyes in solitude, perceives in a flash!
Scent of the fresh blooms
whispers of the gentle breeze
moments of solitude
echoes of the cosmic chants
imprints of mindfulness
harmony of the heart and mind
descent of tranquility
feeling of euphoria
experiencing of inner peace!

The brilliant turquoise blue expanse
shimmers through the jagged serrated peaks
icy winds hum a heavenly harmony
puffy clouds murmur , wafting daintily
a conversation in solitude, infuses a calm aura
the soul connects with the cosmic energy
drinking in the sweet essence of nirvana.
Infinite thoughts drift
across the reflective mind
embrace mindfulness
spiritual aura diffused
wealth of tranquil inner peace.
