American These are my first attempts at creative writing. I hope they are found meaningful and enjoyed.
Now breathe. and Remember: joy = Suffering which is not equal to Calm = bliss Thus the signature of harmony: effortless dynamic stability or structured adaptability a moving part of a larger wondrous Fractal: the anthropomorphized metaphor, abstracted from sensing the form: the One which is Not.

Bliss and Joy
the City that captivating light oft confused by flies for the Sun within

Quality of Light
I. I was starstruck in the dark by The Muse illuminated yet protected by a brilliant reflection; and She was gone. determined, with The Muse in my heart and her sweet song to guide me I crossed the river and entered the wilderness. II. My now fearless heart found a path and through it calmly imbibed the unknown and the sun began to shine. III. The light unveiled a companion traveling beside me all along. *"The sun forever shines on this mountain"*, he said. A fork in the road. He gave me a calm, quizzical look; acknowledged the sun; nodded to the mountain before us; and departed down the path unsung. I followed the muse. Calmly I strayed, forging my own path guided by my newly ignited, warming inner fire. IV. A glorious woman sat not far off the path singing. With a beautiful voice, a beautiful face, and a beautiful heart, she looked the part of The Muse but her hurting, tired eyes gave her away she was not because no person could be and realizing this I was no longer starstruck. V. The image: The Muse had been shattered but I did not run. I approached with a smile and she refused my offered hand. Without anger, without pain, I turned my gaze to the mountain before me. "Thank you", I whispered in her ear "Thank you for guiding me here, the sun always shines; we both can find our way" and kissed her forehead. And with the sun warming my heart, I began singing that same song The Muse within me all along and was off to know the unknown mountain and glorious sun by knowing my mysterious Self
