ECSTASY
Ecstasy is supreme joy
Caused by an inner bliss
Self breathes relief and peace
The stony mundane lid melts
Accentuating that godly shine
Such lighthouses warn and guide
Yet we have lost our eyes

ReplyDeleteI like your definition of 'ecstasy', Sumana. "The stony mundane lid melts" - this is my favorite line. I like the idea that sometimes we can attain such bliss and forget the mundane for a while.
