Unseeking Seeker Poet Rhyme

An earnest entreaty

Slow down now dear, in life’s last lap
The times’ now to reclaim soul’s light
Aglow in heart by day and night

Let’s dwell in the pause, in the gap 
Sans thought our ego disappears 
‘Tis then presence of God appears 

Between two thought forms, take a nap
Whence no longer by mind decoyed
We behold our Self, unalloyed

Know ego cravings are a trap
Seek that that does not come and go
That truth of our true Self we know

God’s bliss on tap, eagerly lap
Plunge fearlessly into embrace 
Look into His eyes, face to face 

Slow down now dear, in life’s last lap
Let’s dwell in the pause, in the gap 
Between two thought forms, take a nap
Know ego cravings are a trap
God’s bliss on tap, eagerly lap

Valsa George June 22, 2024 at 12:16 AM What a beautiful poem to reflect on especially for a person like me running the last lap of life. For us what is there to gloat on and blow our ego, other than what God has given us. This thought will make us humble. At the last lap, having bade good bye to all heated activities, we have more time to focus on God. Dear Seeker friend, glad you have revived the memories of Connie Marcum and her wonderful poetic form. Unseeking Seeker June 22, 2024 at 2:28 AM Thank you, Valsa dear, so happy you enjoyed. Connie was a very talented poet and a beautiful soul, tragic she left us so early.
