Befriending silence

If the magic of the now eludes us, it signals we are as yet fast asleep and caught in a mind trap, dark fears nonplus, deadening our sentience to love's bliss beep. Ignorance borne of stupor is our sin, whose roots lie in attachment to this form, so to exit trance, the way to begin, is to manifest within, a bliss storm. Looking at thought forms as objects abstract, our soul's nonchalant eye and tranquil heart, disallows these images to distract our focus to make bliss ignition start. Befriending the void, we make it our home, our consciousness aligned with gong of Om. Our consciousness aligned with gong of Om, ever present silence becomes the norm, whence following scent of love, we so roam, choosing with past beliefs, not to conform. No sooner we relinquish our thought crutch, shining as pure awareness, self-aware, we imbibe clear wisdom, simply by touch, as with love and light, our head and heart pair. Soul’s choice to discard each and every ism, enables heart to focus on our role, which is to ignite the mind-body prism, filling it with God’s light, scriptures extol. As we can see, there’s nothing to be done; our Self is living light, like yonder sun. Our Self is living light, like yonder sun and we see this clearly, when thoughts recede, knowing now that as we so come undone, we’re always complete, when love takes the lead. The table is laid for bliss readymade, if we but choose to trust the ways of God and assigning love no grade, gently wade in a sea of love that leaves our heart awed. The path is easy and not difficult, so dear souls, let us now embrace the truth, lighting lamp of love, rejecting each cult, beholding our true Self, here now forsooth. Get ye, oh hermit, aboard God's bliss bus, if the magic of the now eludes us.

what a coincidence...just this morning I was thinking about the phrase 'befriending silence" and what it entails. You've described it so well. So many lines were powerful "Ignorance borne of stupor is our sin, whose roots lie in attachment to this form," Somehow we forget that we in the silence we can conquer ego..silence seems simple but some find embracing it incredibly hard. I also liked the last two lines "the bliss bus" was perfect. Hope you have a splendid weeknd, Sara

Thank you, Sara. Silence is immediate and intimate ~ lovers holding hands, melding with the fragrance of a flower, breathing in the petrichor of fresh air, watching a sunset over the skyline … as we embrace and release the now continuum.

How do you deliver such powerful thoughts and messages through a form like this! Truly impressive and impeccable. I agree with so much and sometimes silence is the norm and is the best companion to reflect and to reignite, i loved this. Especially the first stanza. A fave for me definitely

In truth, all I do is express the actual spiritual unfolding process, which somehow comes out better in poetry than prose.

Thank you, Silent One. I’ve done a few in up to seven interconnected sonnets as specified but I think it’s a bit too much, too long for the reader to go through.
