Ecstasy Inhaled... Poem by Annette Aitken

Ecstasy Inhaled...

Rating: 5.0


Ecstasy Inhaled.

Wading through the marshy bog
and dense undergrowth
to love the battlefield and
bathe in the silent moonlight.
To be selfish and recapture one's self,
as the calm of the moonlight
allows peace to wash over me.
As a shadow in the mist,
communicates with crystal clarity,
as it disappears into daylight.

Ecstasy inhaled as a caged
animal escaping its captors.

Ecstasy is that emotion where our whole being dance in delight.it sweeps us.We would not want to let go of this feeling.It is inner joy.We can find it in the sublime heart. A marvelous write, thanks for sharing.

Dream-like evocation of surreal scenery, capturing us with ethereal, silvery images of moonbeams and forest shadows. And here in this place we are left to contemplate the essence of ecstasy as something of which we may partake, rather than the typical expression of ecstasy as a response to internal stimuli. Intriguing and captivating writing, Annette. Another excellent work. :) S
