Invoking My Bliss
by Nikki Starcat Shields
When I dive inside
To find my bliss
I’m pleased to find it,
Coming easily to my seeking hand.
A familiar feel,
Like a smooth stone,
A cat rubbing its face against me,
Purring in joyous greeting.
My joy is vast, bubbling up,
Overflowing into laughter,
Wild dancing,
A delicious stretch,
A deep inhale.
A round red apple,
Tart and juicy
As I pierce the skin.
The scent of lavender and spice
Lingering on the air,
The feel of pen on paper.
Released, my bliss
Relaxes into the space
Around me, soft and cozy
Like my favorite shawl.
