Aim of the game

Eight billion souls mirroring God’s heartbeat,
granted full freedom to act as they please,
estranged from source find love and light deplete,
until shape shifting desires they release,
whence flowing with ease like the morning breeze,
they take a step back to stop flow of time,
dissolving presence in love’s bliss beat chime.

This poem beautifully captures the theme of finding peace and freedom by letting go of worldly desires. The imagery of "eight billion souls" and "love’s bliss beat chime" adds depth to the message.

A graceful spiritual rhyme royal that frames life as freedom, separation, and a return to divine presence. I especially like “shape shifting desires” and the closing image of time dissolving into love’s “bliss beat chime.”
