I can feel it in my bones
Like a ripple in the water
Bubble blowing in the breeze
Reflecting hues of the yon with ease
Glinting tiara on tree top
Sunlight feigning bulbs of glory
Like bells chiming through the leaves
Pulling me to prayer remembering thee
A bird chasing in her play
Screeching merry, no time to lay
Like bluebells peeping from their buds
Knowing their sun without no fuss
When I know my truth, even if abstruse
I can feel it in my bones
Nature did not question, why should I
The signs, I ll accept, as if they are Thy

Goes on to prove, you don't need much to begin with in order to give :) Or rather we have everything already within us :)
Too long since my mind meandered
Without a problem to solve, a fire to put out
Too long since it felt the stillness within
Without confusion scattering all thought
Too long since I acknowledged the gifts
Of this imperfect body and treacherous mind
Too long have I gone without the trifling
And mundane fighting with my humankind
Too long since I whined about
Constraints God-given or by people
Too long since I realized the magic
Of meagre troubles that make life meaningful
The big tempests bring with them
Such profound glimpses of landscape
Only then could I grasp the mighty ocean,
For till then, only waves I wanted to escape

Congratulations! Treasure your you-ness. Feeling less is okay. Maybe less messy, and less clean up :)
Interesting and must I say difficult challenge to execute! Tickling my brains for it!
Thanks for the shout out :) Such an irony that I had to take a hiatus from the platform without noticing the shout out to my poem. Grateful nevertheless, thank you!
