Addiction
“We are not this limited mind body
We are not instinct driven, thoughts shoddy”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Attachment the glue which binds and confines
Debilitating and contracting consciousness
Throwing us off course, as we misalign
Shrouding presence in darkness
We easily discern ego as cause
Seeking body pleasures ephemeral
Upon spiralling thoughts put on pause
Addictions vaporise on choosing life internal
The cravings which arise, mental or physical
Powerless once we become a bliss mist
Relinquishing doership, life simple
Surrendering, ceasing to resist
There are short term measures
Help lines, therapists and doctors
Yet in the end if Gods love we treasure
Vibrant bliss vivifies all our in-form vectors
All addiction essentially yearning to grow
Deludedly choosing domain transient
Shifting in silence and stillness slow
We regain joy, our native element
