Ascent

It is our chin chakra’s resolve,
that our heart be poised in the void,
as a sublime, flicker-free flame,
that we may breath by breath evolve,
revealing soul’s light unalloyed,
becoming thus our claim to fame.

Bereft of fear and dark desire,
with attention internalised,
throb of bliss magnetism invoked,
caress of which we never tire,
truth of oneness is realised,
with our presence with God’s will yoked.

Easy is our ascent uphill,
since we have surrendered our will.

Dear US, I loved how it is has a very clear, soaring quality to it, focused entirely on the internal, spiritual journey. You make the "ascent uphill" sound not like a struggle, but an easy, inevitable consequence of giving up the ego's control. It’s a very peaceful and centering poem. Autumn Blessings, Dear US, Daniel

Thank you, Daniel. Yes, as you have correctly discerned, spiritual ascent has a direct correlation with ego erasure. Ego, being sense of separation, is the veil that prevents us from recognising our true Self, in heart aglow.
