Notes About The Poem

Awaken By This Knowing

To create, sustain, destroy, conceal and reveal Are innate powers five whose effect in form we feel Myriad fears and desires in dreams conjured interplay Until in void of cessation we decide to call this play a day Our bondage is ignorance arising from identification with form Vaporised gradually when graced by a magnetic bliss storm A caress divine that slowly awakens us from deep slumber Beheld by contracted consciousness in childlike wonder Cessation of fears and desires makes us empty within It’s then that we slowly regain our true nature free from sin Recognising the world as but illusion, the false ego falls away One with oneness, God’s love and light becomes soul’s mainstay As long as we entertain the slightest belief of separation from God We deny ourselves, in mind-body granting not to love our nod For love alone is real, which resolves all conflicts of ego The way to heaven then is easy, as we just let go 23-September-2022

I believe you are so very correct Unseeking Seeker, the things in this world, are illusions. All passing away, but God is forever, our breath, our life. My sister wrote a beautiful poem on this subject but has been rather shy to share it, I wish she would. This is truth <3

Thank you for your suggestion Unseeking Seeker, I called and had to leave her a message of encouragement to post her poem and join PS, she was my earliest mentor in poetry!! I won't share it without her permission, it was a revelation that had waken her in the night, and she was too tired to write down, thinking she would remember. She then prayed and begged to have it shared with her again, and again was wakened from her sleep with the words! The second time she got up and wrote it down, it is powerful!
