Unseeking Seeker Poet Rondeau Redouble

Ambling Along

Ambling along, in thought rested silence
Mantra Aum, the esoteric diphthong 
Cognised in void by inner sentience
The sound of one hand clapping, our swan-song

No doer choosing between right and wrong
Gently aligning with voice of conscience 
Childlike surrender, devotion lifelong 
Ambling along, in thought rested silence

In a continuum thus, our presence
Nestled in the current, where it belongs
Imbibing therein the nectar essence
Mantra Aum, the esoteric diphthong 

As we plunge into the bliss stream headlong
Soul transfixed in divine entwined parlance 
Moment to moment, we hear the love gong 
Cognised in void by inner sentience

Head and heart aligned, in perfect balance
Gripped in rapture of the divine love song 
Mystical is rhythm of its cadence 
The sound of one hand clapping, our swan-song

It matters not, if life be short or long
What counts is that we build no ego fence
Kind to both man and nocturnal bettong
Embracing one and all, in carefree dance
Ambling along

Regina Mcintosh January 19, 2021 at 3:04 AM Wow. Impressive. I haven't ever tried this form... it seems so difficult. Love your poem. God bless you dear friend Unseeking Seeker January 19, 2021 at 4:27 AM Rondeau redouble is a bit challenging, no doubt in that the refrain and line repetitions should make sense in context with the poem, apart from which the end rhymes should use different words, while yet conveying the intended meaning! Still, a breeze for you, I’m sure!
