Confronting shadows

Attached to outcomes, ego opaques light, radiance of our true Self, veiled by mind, demons of darkness, shrouding heart’s delight, thought tentacles gripping us in their bind. As both tormentor and the tormented, being both the subject and the object, we inhaled fragrance of love, bliss scented, causing boundless rapture to rise unchecked. Waking up in the dream by slowing thought, with ego exhumed, bliss beats soon resumed, whence soul imbibed love and light as it ought, whereupon at our core, heart lotus bloomed. Thought cessation, path to heart’s elation ~ In time stretched peace, is our meditation
