As We Sit Still

as we sit still, befriending deep silence
melding with the void, surrendering will
presence forges with love, an alliance 
divine magnetic currents, bliss instils

when earth life shapes us, upon the anvil
our mind body encounters turbulence
yet cave of our heart, is always tranquil 
as we sit still, befriending deep silence

thoughts rested, no ego looking askance
our emptiness leaves no room for evil
paving way for divine entwined parlance 
melding with the void, surrendering will

cyclic thoughts make mountains out of molehills
throwing our head and heart out of balance
thus turbidity continues until
presence forges with love, an alliance 

inner alignment, bubbling innocence 
negating worldly cacophony shrill
in harmony with the voice of conscience 
divine magnetic currents, bliss instils

oh hermit, joy makes easy, path uphill
when we place upon God, full reliance 
dwellers of void, drink nectar to their fill
with bliss bursting forth, in continuance 
as we sit still

Thank you! I don’t have knowledge of poetry forms actually, having recently picked up through trial and error on this site. My vocabulary is just about average. This particular form is a bit tricky, I agree. Usually, I don’t write based on concepts but rather from inward knowing.
