Poem Title:
Poem
Nothing new in the electrochemistry It no longer is a scientific mystery Waves Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta, Gamma & Epsilon Descending from buoyant ecstasy to a persona forlorn Zodiac signs & rainbow colours assigned to chakras renamed Esoteric yogic techniques, exponents aplenty, all self-proclaimed Fiery verbal duels, by many an argumentative eristic Each it seems is the ultimate mystic Leaving profundity to theorists whose verbosity we acknowledge What matters is assimilated wisdom, not vicarious knowledge So we go in within, alone, in meditational stillness, upon a virgin path Each moment in the time continuum, a holy sabbath What we seek is expansive consciousness & joy eternal And what is eternal is obviously not embraceable in the ephemeral So we chop off perishable egoistic attachments, fear & desire And straightaway plunge our non-self into the divine fire How? In unseeking stillness within ... deep within Where at each moment we anew begin No conflict, no violence Effortless stillness, rippleless silence No agenda, no seeker, no doer We are still, yet there is a mover The flow of the Universe within into which we dissolve Emerging from which we automatically evolve What do we gain & what do we lose? Irrelevant, for we are not, yet desirelessly choose What we lose is our sorrow generating gross contaminant Gain being ineffable, exalted, joyous divine love enablement There is no way; our choice itself is the way Save unendingly effusing love, no rules to obey Thoughts sublime, words kind, actions benign Self, Soul & Spirit thus align Trust the Universe, plunge into its loving stream We need to wake up now, from our narrow dream Upon lighting a candle, darkness is instantly expelled Surrendering to the divine, ignorance is automatically dispelled And that is all there is to it Doable if we do & never ever quit Simpler the truth, it seems the more elusive it is So perplexed we are by life’s jigsaw quiz 01-November-2020
