". . . Do egoic fears & desires agitate
Or heart throbs with bliss sublime . . . "
                          lines by _ Unseeking Seeker 
_____________

I am stirred from the moment I awaken each day,
from the news on TV and posts that try to sway; 
on social media a good portion are rants, 
well said and written but filled with other peoples wants;
and as I listen or read my psyche is filled with dread,
oh, my soul, heart and mind flutters for bliss instead !

And in my yoga meditation I pulse and flutter,
as within me three levels of enlightenment mutter;
with happiness I find the Gunas tree that will bind,
what lies deep inside my soul, my heart and mind;
in Tamas, I am passive, doubtful, uncertain and still. 
I am full of anguish melancholy like a tainted pill ! 

And in Rajas my ego is conceited with thirst, 
with passion, with yearning that will in time burst;
this hunger only brings me turmoil and agitation,
and I am not alone it happens to all in every location;
we all must let go of selfish self seeking desires,
we all need to stop and put out all our mental wild fires !

Then, at last I am in Sattva, where all should be,
in harmony, our soul, heart and mind is set free;
we are pure in our thinking and devoted to peace,
love for all and in so doing our joy will ever increase;
we know bliss, detachment from other peoples words,
able to be compassionate-   then, fly away uncaged birds !
