Fountain of Bliss
Flowing thro’
the universe
Day & night
Many quanta of nectars
spilling up
Into infinite sky.
In bounties
sun & moon
drink
And remain
ever radiant
As un-ending halo-
With eternal completeness
of universe
in life
& Thine halo.
(Why) : Sitting absorbed
- and centered in self?
Look around
Broadening bosom
Accept all tiny sorrows
as trifling one
Fill with love
The voidness
in life.

Adapted from Rabindranath Tagore
I quite like the concept of the poem...I feel there is more that could be explored and imagined. Especially taking the first two parts of the piece. I guess bliss is such a concept of exploration in life that I wanted more.
I like but have to agree with louis, the bone needs more meat, Bliss is a big word, it is all of everything, maybe I was expecting too much after reading your title, hope I am not coming across as harsh, like what you do Niv, blessings Brendan.
Ahhh... to contemplate 'bliss'...nirvana to some...to others an ice cream sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top! lol! ;) Remembering the value of observation makes one want to soar with eagles and watch troubles appear miniscule from a bird's eye point of view! May your fountain of endless happiness never run dry! Great write....full of sage wisdom! Thanks for sharing!
Nice...bliss or love already a poetry? Don't worry, be happy swallowing...
