As In Direct Experience

The ask is silence, let’s see what it takes
To hush the blush of senses five
On flow of turbid thought, to apply brakes
Yet keeping awareness alive
Sipping nectar from heart’s bliss hive

These prerequisites require surrender
Choosing to shift from head to heart
Throb of magnetism, silent bliss thunder
Ignites on adding love to cart
Enabled, no sooner we start

To become as such, we must choose to shift
It’s not a game of make belief
With focus held firm, that we do not drift
We willingly turn a new leaf
At last offering soul relief

Bliss enabled but we’re still in realm dual 
As yet enslaved by time and space 
Though cravings of ego no longer rule
And we have slowed down our life’s pace
We’ve yet to see God, face to face

A time does come when we see ego die
Simply stated, it falls away
It is then we see, earth life is a lie
Beholding Self, as clear as day
A vibrant, pulsating sun ray

How still is our silence, if we’ve not seen
Truth of who we really are
Light of a thousand suns, is our soul’s sheen
Here within, not somewhere afar
Aflame, like a luminous star

“ It is then we see, earth life is a lie” how profound is this write! Ego destroys all and theres so much more than this world that so many are lost in. I absolutely love this poem seeker! The wordplay, those internal rhymes and flow is beyond impeccable! Fave for me

Thank you, IE. My attempt through poetry is to share what I know in direct spiritual experience. The experience is felt by inner polarity of senses and mind of the heart. I write to offer others validation in case they are on the same path, because doubts do creep in and help is not easily available. Spirituality has nothing to do with religion, there are no beliefs involved, only direct knowing.
