A Tragic Comic Tale

dwelling in singularity
complete but arid 
at peace but loveless
living light in renewal
having no urge to act
yet feels a need arise
to feel contrast by touch
for which it must shed
it’s resplendent splendour
walk barefoot on hot sands
in decaying organic form
with memory erased 
clutching onto but hope
of its essence in the heart

pangs of separation 
exhilaration of divine union
embraced by innocence 
in astonishment and wonderment 
provides an impetus
to the tremulous heart
to seek bliss in permanence 
embodying zenith rapture
in form of dust so ensouled
and thus the search begins
requiring lifting of the veil
mirages manifested in dreams
requiring erasure of identity
to which Self now clings
