Poem
This life Rituals we’re asked to follow Seem to separate man from man Something’s wrong, it seems so shallow Sun shines upon all with elan So we went to temple and mosque Sikh gurudwara and the church Favours from God, all in fear ask Whilst carefree birds, on treetops perch Each affirms, their faith absolute ‘My daddy strongest’ is the norm Fundamentalists resolute Where lies hermit, bliss rapture warm The scriptures per say seem alright For each teaches, true path is love Narrowness makes us blind to light If God’s within, why look above Such being the case, meditate Celebrating our aliveness We are still, nodes within gyrate Entwining with the That oneness Our prayer then, not a doing Having chosen to surrender Moment by moment, blossoming Our each life breath, is God’s wonder Our next life One day this feeble form will die Liberating soul eternal Deluded desires, seek the sky So we’re reborn; God’s miracle Memory erased, when reborn The same questions do resurface Where lies the light that we adorn Heart seeks to see God, face to face Of what avail are the scriptures We are not this here mind-body Tiring of bondage and strictures Plunge into the void, when ready Cessation of thought, is the way How many times must we be born Each breath intake, is when we pray With animal instincts all shorn As our breath flows here and now Accepting ourself as we are We negate not, fear and desire Nor with thought spirals, do we spar Choose staid silence, because we tire Shifting our fulcrum into space We look inwards at all movement Futile rat race, blocks divine grace So sad is heart’s discontentment Ceasing to size, we vaporise Letting go of our doership Life goes on, much to our surprise No need then, for oneupmanship Shift, external to internal Requiring but a mindful eye All we do, is make desires null No cause then, for our heart to sigh That that comes and goes, unreal Our lower mind knows not the truth We stand still, feeling bliss appeal Entwining with God’s will forsooth Boundaries blur, all becomes one We are the holder of the flame Luminous like the yonder sun Recognising life but a game 04-December-2021
