When I close my eyes, beauty stands beckoning to me imploring me to embrace her. Butterflies and fireflies vie for my attention. Roses and waterlilies rock to the rhythm and the music of the trees yearning for attention. The voice of the wind blows through the bamboos and aging leaves hope to distract my attention. They'd rather I listen to them than to the songs of the birds.
The river flowing through the forest with its silvery voice pleads with my senses to enjoy the sounds and the feel of freshness around it. The springy grass of the meadows cushioning my feet and tickling my senses makes me worship the ground I walk on. The moon with it pearly white light drenches me with romance and magic of the moment that floods my senses.
The sounds of the world outside is drowned by the music my mind reproduced from the scenes it sees. My altered senses calm and soothe my overworked mind filling it with peace and joy. Every moment of beauty that my eyes have ever witnessed have been captured and imprinted on the screens of my mind, to bring me perfect happiness. When my eyes close, I shut out the cacophony of the human world to fill it with the peace of creation.
The music, the magic, the beauty, the exquisiteness of the moment is all filmed and stored for my viewing pleasure on demand. The sights, the smells, the feel, the sounds are all loaded within, unlike the movies. Only the mind is capable of reproducing beauty like this on demand.
Sitting on a grassy knoll, closing my eyes listening to the tinkling of bells as they got closer to me. With eyes closed I could see them hopping around the pasture enjoying their innocence in the pristine lap of nature. The tiny lambs still smelling freshly of the milk they suckled from their mother moments earlier, nudging me with their wet noses inviting me to join them in their never ending games.
Let me dream on, let this dream never end, let me become one with nature, virtuous and pure. Wake me not into the world of harsh realities, let me be the wildflower that blooms day after day without a care in the world. Let me be a pebble kissed by warm waters of the river. Let me be me blissful as always with my eyes closed! Awaken me not!!
Even when I walk though this ravaged Earth,let the pandemic and the pollution not touch me again. May this bliss be my shield from everything unsightly. May it be my cocoon from this world racing to be acquire, possess, rule and reign. Let this dream be my peace pill from constant annoyance of the world. Let this dream be my magic space filled with gold dust ecstasy where I withdraw to find myself.
Let the earth in her numerous voices sing me a lullaby. Let the sky caress me with the abundance of her clouds, may my wind swept face smell of the flowers of the lands and the fruits of the trees. May this time of bliss never end.
