Unseeking Seeker Poet Villanelle

Notes About The Poem

Awake Oh Hermit

That transfixed in bliss, God may uplift soul,
conscience urges presence to heed love's beat,
to imbibe rapture, all scriptures extol.

Awaking from stupor being life's goal,
void of stillness invokes magnetic heat,
that transfixed in bliss, God may uplift soul.

Subtle whispers ethereal cajole
head to meld with heart, sipping nectar sweet,
to imbibe rapture, all scriptures extol.

Fears and desires bemuse, heart feels not whole,
so surrenders all doership at His feet,
that transfixed in bliss, God may uplift soul.

Nothing need be done to fulfil life’s role,
save embracing all with a loving tweet,
to imbibe rapture, all scriptures extol.

Ceasing striving, relinquishing control,
behold how polarities meet and greet,
that transfixed in bliss, God may uplift soul,
to imbibe rapture, all scriptures extol.
