A wilderness of mirrors

all seemed well in heaven’s cocoon then we sought earth life as a boon to feel contrast one became two male, female, the sun and the moon stuporous mind, but a cat’s mew of higher wisdom not a clue muddled further by senses five the web from which we must unglue why do we feel that we’re alive we know not who we are, yet strive trapped in the open, free within one with oneness, in heart’s bliss hive attachment is our only sin fuelling needless thought flow din if we be but still, voids will fill silence then’s the way to begin first things first, we surrender will love perches on heart’s window sill the mirror shatters; we are free relieved the dream was but a drill

Dear Seeker, I enjoyed your splendid use of contrast and vibrant imagery to illuminate and illustrate concepts of duality/unity, freedom/surrender, existence, consciousness and spirituality. Beautiful, poetic expression! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
