Unseeking Seeker Poet Rondeau

Notes About The Poem

A Far Cry

A far cry; ascent, unless we decry
Fearful desires that makes loving heart sigh
Know, oh hermit, we are our tormentor 
Both, the meek prisoner and fierce captor 
Deaf to voice of conscience, as love draws nigh

Free soaring spirit, reaches for the sky
Living life fully, before we do die
Let’s make not merger, with The Creator
A far cry

This world of contrast, has both lows and highs
Ours is but to do, not to reason why
In silence and stillness, meditator
In midst of turbidity, placater
Is as yet the life we lead, a deep lie
A far cry

Victor Buhagiar April 26, 2021 at 1:40 AM Sounds like a preparation for war, maybe a spiritual one. I stand to be corrected. Unseeking Seeker April 26, 2021 at 2:30 AM Separation = misalignment ~ Oneness = alignment (with love)
