Loving Bliss
harbin hot springs' pools elicit bliss
via the relaxation response
friendly eyes and naked bodies soften
dream time affects the brain
sing with that lyric in your mind
rise, rise, explore and delve
loving bliss comes, ~ let it grow
and flourish like a flower, in your mind
ring out, sing out, fly with those mind-chemicals
and see what transpires
under-examined ~
where does bliss come from? what can elicit it? when will you live it?
and all the time? can you evoke it as you will?
what is it? what stimulates it? what is the soup?
place, people, milieu, ideas
a lily, a friend abloom,
a blush, a rose in the water
we snuggle and embrace in the water,
so softly,
so lovely
and people cuddle in the water
and do watsu and water dance
under the fig tree
the ridge,
the dragon's ridge -
look now, ~
in the golden light
so old, so present -
let it grow in your mind as you soften
into that bliss of ease and the moment
but love - that is rarer,
and for it to rock out,
to sing,
to rise to bloom -
something is needed -
or is it random?
loving bliss -
like a rose in bloom in your mind -
is an old experience,
which I find cultivatable
let's and now ~
but soften first,
and if you allow an opening ...
it can and does emerge
now ~ into the warm waters,
into the harbin pools
or create your own
