Anchored To The Ground Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Glimpsed the reason why spiritual people claim emotion
is just a chemical reaction which falls away when physical
is destroyed, why it’s irrational trying to be amazed by the
well-known as if you were a new-born babe – because

The familiar is NOT a surprise and acting as if it were is
just putting on a show, logically there must be spiritual
dimensions where consciousness will really be surprised
again by the totally unknown, but until then it’s helpful

To know the deflated feeling after inflation of infantile
emotion is not an eternal state and the joy of an even keel
is to be appreciated and enjoyed; watching an Anime film
with Nici feeling the force of heightened emotion

Slowly deflating afterwards and realising there’s always a
price to be paid for excitement; actually it is better not to
fly with the stars if the fall down to the ground makes you
realise it is chasing the wind to seek sensation – tonight

I just want to be quiet and feel the delight of a job rather
well done, as well as my abilities will let me – staying
anchored to the ground…
