Ascent

Rising from earth, life multiplies It’s our innate urge to expand Our instincts driven by God’s hand Then mind of ego opens eyes We begin to learn and discern Yet in fire of desire we burn When pride dies, our soul wingless flies Head and heart now act hand in glove Feral lust transmutes to pure love Grace descends in heart, bliss the prize We transcend each and every ism Magnetism ignites body prism That we’re God’s light, we realise Both immanent and transcendent Luminous and bliss resplendent Rising from earth, life multiplies Then mind of ego opens eyes When pride dies, our soul wingless flies Grace descends in heart, bliss the prize That we’re God’s light, we realise

your words resonated with me, especially 'Grace descends in heart, bliss the prize.' Isn't it interesting that in order to 'ascend' grace must 'descend' into our hearts...it's the process that brings us closer to God. Well done! Have a pleasant day, Sara

Guru, a beautiful meditative ascent cast in a lovely poetic form, with as usual a deep spiritual dimension. Would like to try this form in the coming days. KG

Unfortunately, Connie has crossed over but she has left us this form as her gift. It’s a shame that this beautiful poetry form is as yet not recognised.
