We look outward, here upon earth Ego anchored, devoid of mirth Fleeting joy that’s mirrored by pain Bound head to foot by desire’s chain Caught in a web, our heart did weave Time’s now that we cease to so grieve Conscience showing us path correct That love aligned, we stand erect Before each act, let’s take a pause Discern if lower mind the cause Mindful eye, thus always aware Adroitly sidesteps ego snare In timeless time, heart becomes pure Resolve firm, each test we endure Our consciousness, witness presence Aligned with God’s omnipresence Attention posed in cessation Tranquil calm, our meditation Magnetic currents pervade form Invaded by benign bliss storm Captivated by a love mist We surrender; do not resist Ceasing to size, we vaporise In as ordained, God realise 13-January-2022 C Form - Couplet Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France {Two or more verses of 8 lines per verse and 8 syllables per line} Syllable counter used: HMS Rhymezone check PS Grammar check

The title of the poem is ‘captivate’ and the concluding verse indicates we’re captivated by a bliss mist. Did I miss something?
