Notes About The Poem

Written July 13 2026 for Unseeking Seeker's contest Disrobing Ego

Disrobing Ego

Line of inquiry:
“to veil light we cloaked it in bliss
then intellect and lower mind
fused together as magnetism
in form where truth we seek to find”

Dandelion dance of ego blown away
Indigo trials within your lack of faith
Soul seeking spiritual known to pray
Ruby red redemption shown to save
Onyx times when one is lost or blind
Beckoning blues hazel hoping to find
Inner indigo strength of sound mind
Noble robe of repenting ritual’s time
Ghosting thoughts of fear of death

Entertaining hearts of spiritual wealth 
Green Garden of Eden given again
Opal tears of joy in forgiven silver sin
