Certitude of Bliss

                        Oh see, when life relieves its burden, when

                        light, as a bright sheaf, rises like angels,

                        wispy clouds dance on polished firmament

                        above zenith's band, wet ground's tart fragrance

                        feathers along on muddy waterside,

                        dark blue waves of the dreaming lake listen

                        as birds' twittering song greets a prophesied

                        relief among the waking trees, hidden

                        vital force calls forth cautious newborn leaves,

                        Sunshine arrives in caressing soft Spring,

                        fragile moments' still harmony of ease

                        turn my spirit to certitude of bliss.

                                  As above so below, none of them less,

                                 as Nature so the soul, linked in oneness.

“As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…” 

Hermes Trismegistus
