Bridging the Ego Abyss

Born free and playful, our soul was complete Reaching out to one and all, joy replete Illumined was our soul, divine entwined Dispersing love, nothing to be divined Giving rather than taking, was the norm Immersed deep in a bliss magnetised storm Neophyte humble, prayer on our lips Grateful for each heartbeat that rapture grips Then lower mind, cast upon us a spell Head-heart split, in fears we began to dwell Ego spawned sorrow, spelt our heart’s death knell Empty heart sought joy amidst illusions God’s light veiled, unending our delusions Opaqued truth birthed mistaken conclusions Acceptance dawns, we enter the abyss Bowing down to conscience, erst fears dismiss Yearning for God, replacing narrow views Stillness dynamic, joy pulse that renews Surrender complete, filling heart with bliss 09-December-2021 (Acrostic Syllabic Rhyme) Syllables: HMS Rhymezone check 1st stanza: aabbccdd, 2nd: eee, 3rd: fff, 4th: gghhg ''A'' Forms, New Poems Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France
