Hi, Petrichor

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! *BalloonR*


These are my honest thoughts on your poem.

What made me read this poem?

The title and brief description hooked me as many times, in my busy schedule, I wish I could sit alone and still my thoughts and feelings.

My thoughts:

I loved the first stanza. That is exactly what I'm seeking - stillness, no movement, sound or thrill.

The second stanza talks about Qi or Chi, the Life Energy. I very much believe in this concept and feel that if we open our channels for the Qi to flow in, our lives will take a turn for the better. We would gain spiritual knowledge which cannot be accessed otherwise.

The third stanza is about the calmness one experiences when one reaches a thoughtless state.

The final stanza gives us the solution to calm our ever-chattering mind and it is through meditation.

This is a simple poem, containing deep ideas. To understand it, we need to have some knowledge about spirituality in general and Qi in particular. However, you have weaved it into a comprehensible form.

Final thoughts:

*Rainbowr* Reading this poem refreshed me. I like writings which are spiritually oriented. I have no suggestions to give as I find this poem perfect (keeping the technicalities of poetry aside). Thanks a lot for sharing this with us. Keep writing *Thumbsup*
