you'll find
strength
in the simple
smiles
of bonds
unfrozen.

you'll find
happiness
when you
grow beyond
goals.

you'll find
peace
while you watch
and accept
stumbles and
beauty.

you'll know
belief
in innocent
eyes
and blind
love.

peace comes in acceptance of everything perfect and imperfect. how true.

while i still roll words in my tongue for seemingly-apt titles to my posts, while i still experiment with forms to nudge my soul off indifference, while i still vacillate between expression and silence, and while i still debate very personal definitions against societal obligations...you have already transcended into a higher plane of subtlety and being...you already dance on waves...

my low magic...as opposed to your high magic...

Well written.

My favourite was, of course, the last one,

"you'll know
belief
in innocent
eyes
and blind
love."

Another way I thought of it was,

"you'll know
belief
in innocent
eyes
blinded
by love."

Jax - :) Thank you. To accept something unconditionally is very difficult..let alone as perfect. Don't you think? But peace is an achievable thing, albeit, like self-esteem has to be constantly worked upon!

The Neurotic One - Welcome here, hope to see you around. :)

transience - Well..as long as acceptance is the key word.

Raul - Yes, I'm very much an Indian.
And thanks for coming by. :)

.:r - Oh my. This is an honor..and I'm honestly, speechless..

the_soulless - Thank you for linking me. I do hope that eventually those grand pillars will stand tall.

Free Spirit - Thanks..

the woman - :)

.:A:. - That's a different way to put it..though it does change the perspective a bit, does it not? I like it.

Sita - You've arrived. Welcome and you can come anytime..;)

You think I needed that?

I've been haunting this space for three months now, anyway ;)

I like the visual aspect of this poem...very fluid. I also like the repetition of the first line, "you'll find..."

It sure does. I like both versions. ;-)

Sita - The ghost reader, I see. Stepped out of the woodwork, me likes.

stan laurel - Thank you..this is an ever flowing verse.

Jax - Different thought plane, different view point. Yet we'll co-exist.
The better you feel about yourself..the more are the people drawn to you. Right? Or it did work that way with me!

.:A:. - I'm sure you do ;)
