Courage

What is courage
in as an attribute
that holds us erect
in storms resolute

Courage as quality
of a doer limited
both fickle & feeble
until fear decimated

Courage then emptiness 
devoid of desire & fear
a vibrant detachment 
illumined vision clear

Courage in absoluteness
requires identity to vaporise
merging with oneness
no ego left to size

Courage then attributeless
there being no one here
save the throb of love divine 
seeing God everywhere
