Poem
“That ego residue of past be shorn ~ We are time and again, on earth reborn” ~ quote by poet Linear time sounds love's chime, that soul may heavenward climb but most of us heed it not, trapped in a narrow thought slot. God enables if we're still but if we defy His will, we're tossed about like a leaf by fate, shrouding us in grief. Life, as it plays, is ordained to test if our soul's yet stained by ego spawned dark desires, that deluded heart aspires. Both joy and pain come our way but if love is our mainstay, fate has no hold over us and fears no longer nonplus. Life's a school, we're here to learn, to grow in love, as we burn. Redeeming sins of our past, as we chose, the die is cast. Making lamp of love soul's sconce, what matters is our response, moment to moment in life, free from strife, always joy rife. Oh hermit, this life's a dream, where love not fate, reigns supreme and once we truly know this, soul becomes the flame of bliss. 10-March-2023 ____________ Writing Challenge - 'K' Words - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France HMS, Rhymezone, PS Gramnar
