AT REST <br />From belovèd eyes <br />poetic fountain gushes, <br />heart ambushed, surprised. <br /> <br />Through expanding space <br />beyond old inhibitions <br />the mind may e[r]ase <br />artificial skins. <br />As spirit dissolves levels, <br />inner freedom wins, <br />consciousness, can chase <br />surface metamorphosis: <br />sh[r]edded to replace <br />superficial grins, <br />self-deception, whose dark hells <br />are man's greatest sins. <br /> <br />Shared understanding <br />underpins maturity <br />as momentum spins <br />through both thick and thin, <br />talent touches base with place <br />as feelings akin <br />to acceptance win <br />shared acceptance, mock need to [t]race <br />extension within <br />inner harmony, begin <br />growth in troth. Potential spells <br />end to shortcomings. <br /> <br />Mind may be at rest, <br />empathy, serenity, <br />all's held for the best.<br /><br />Jonathan ROBIN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haiku-at-rest/
