Dark Delusion

Insentient to whispers of silence
Luminosity of our heart hidden
Conscience deadened to play of innocence 
Doing not what love impulse has bidden

Having been now encased in human form
Bestowed power of discrimination 
Feral urgings of our past do yet storm
Veiling subtle scent of bliss elation

As both the tormentor and prisoner
We see not light of redemption within
Our desires consuming us like cancer
Pushing us deeper into delusion

Oh hermit! Enter void of cessation
Reclaim innate throb of bliss elation
