Conquering Attachment

Sheela Iyer posted under PenMuse-56 Poetry on 2023-10-08



In fear's firm grip, a mantra's grace, Discovered, and chose to embrace. To detach emotionally, And let peace flow gradually. To detach from worldly desires, sparking and burning like the fires. Doubts and fear, on top of the list, will suck me if I don’t resist. An important aspect today, Serene, if I desire to stay. I vow to walk on this new lane, Lost sleep and health, I will regain. For I comprehend and know now, Torture, attachment will bestow. Often draining my energy, I would never find ecstasy.  Yet crucial, to apply, I find; But I will train and teach my mind. Cause this weapon will set me free, From the chains of anxiety.  In the shadows of doubt and fear,  Seeking solace, the answer's clear.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
