Disrobing ego

“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” 
          ~ Unseeking Seeker

You speak of rain’s voice as star-fire,
an invigorating zeal kissing our soul,
while I stroll the shore of love,
inhaling the incense of lucent sage ~
my heart stirs and pulse awakens,
transcribing the touch of timeless tides,
seeking the softness of the sun,
undressing stubborn haze, disrobing ego,
unbuttoning forgotten chakras,
    to rise in hot-stone silence…

O divine beacon of infinite bliss,
I breathe the burn of intuitive ink,
engulfing my inner consciousness,
like magnetic metaphors,
flowing in sync with blue rose radiance,
rushing through the river of veins ~
from heart to toe, palm to crown,
    revealing handwritten humility…

I yearn to thrive where petals purify,
forsaking the soil of pride,
planting faith in a realm of selfless bloom,
no longer a mindless marionette,
enticed by materialistic mantras ~
for in the form of fortitude
and in the cadence of clarity,
where we seek the strength of truth,
I have learned to trust and obey the breeze
above the fields of felicity,
    illuminating the untouched psyche…

I know the quality of your poetry emanated from your heart, Ink. I find it despairing that contests are being entered and won by those who insist on posting AI as their entries. You need no trophy to illustrate your mind's compositions. They are always exceptionally emotional and human. Hugs and congrats on what should've been a top winner.

“transcribing the touch of timeless tides, seeking the softness of the sun, undressing stubborn haze, disrobing ego, unbuttoning forgotten chakras, to rise in hot-stone silence…” Back to say I love these words also they are so deep and sprinkled with alliteration. Congratulations on your win dear Inky!

Thank you sweet Karen. Atleast I find comfort in knowing and celebrating the fact that I can express without having the need to use Artificial Intelligence to phrase what I phase through life ~ Thank you for celebrating my authentic heartbeat inspired by my pulse of passion. Sending you light always 🌙✨

Indeed, the process of thickening lesser ego, hidden in man son's ultra creation finding, rediscovering blessed higher nature of pure light and ultimate beauty, we travel the path of decent till once again risen. Come out the other side, transfigured, whole holy and perfect. Fully conscious of self as a resurrected heir. "O divine beacon of infinite bliss, I breathe the burn of intuitive ink, engulfing my inner consciousness," -- Beautiful! "I have learned to trust and obey the breeze above the fields of felicity," -- Great writing!

"unbuttoning forgotten chakras to rise in hot-stone silence" that line! Really stayed with me! What a spiritually beautiful and soulful piece this is, dear Ink.. I could really sense the scents of heart and the rhythms that whisper not egoistic chants, rather , yearn to rest in the silence that shapes purity and serenity! Especially that last stanza you really did amazing there ! I was completely enchanted and the way you've claoked the entire meaning in such few words.. that's commendable ..and I really admire how you've written "yearn to thrive where petals purify, forsaking the soil of pride, planting faith in a realm of selfless " yess.. nevermore a mindless marionette chained to materialistic mantrassss! Absolutely

Amazing, Inky. I think the last half of this really captured the whole meaning of his prompt but it's so deep I may not really get all he was saying in the prompt. I hoped to try this challenge but I feel at such a loss in finding the best interpretation . I bet this does great with it's all it's magnificent metaphors

Continued...You speak of rain's voice as star fire..." have you ever noticed how the rain sounds like a gentle fire when you close your eyes Poetess...envisioning you strolling the shore of love, contemplating the feelings is enchanting. " Unbuttoning forgotten chakras, to rise in hot stone silence..." that's soulful sensuality, absolutely brilliant!
