Poem
9.1 “Opposing forces, duties done and left undone— when does it end and for whom? Considering this, be ever desireless, let go of all things, and to the world turn an indifferent eye” 9.3 “Seeing all things as threefold suffering, the sage becomes still Insubstantial, transient, contemptible-- the world is fit only for rejection” Sacrilege but we beg to differ Based upon what we do infer Detachment not indifference Why anaesthetise sentience Celebration not rejection Exuberance not dejection Pain may be but suffering imaginal If we feel it is real not conjectural As for the rest and reading between the lines We do divine That being not the doer there is no doing In dynamic stillness too the Divine alone is moving If we are here it is of our own choosing Let our stillness then be our consciousness so accepting Surrendering the illusionary ephemeral to the flow Erasing negativity within to reveal our presence aglow In stillness slow (20-August-2019) ~~~~~~~~~~~ Verse revisited on 29-October-2021 Earth life manifests sharp contrast Leaving even fearless hearts aghast We are here to energise our potential That we may conjure our love parable For in the domain of light our soul rests Facing adversity triumph earth life tests On reaching exhaustion get to recognition That desire cessation pathway to liberation So ceasing thinking, we meld head and heart In the void of stillness we feel bliss ignition start Our emptiness magnetised by bliss in fullness In time time we merge with the That oneness We are then in but not of the external world In silence we celebrate as soul is unfurled Spiritual heart, here now within our form Enlivened by divine bliss currents warm Layer by layer we see identity vaporise In boundless measure does bliss rise Negating nothing exiting stagnation Flow of life itself is our meditation
