Notes About The Poem

Divine Paradox

We search for joy in permanence Thus pursue objects of desire In this world of transience The bliss that we aspire Is but pulse of love in motion Yet we flounder about, till we tire When ego fades, we’re in elation That’s when thoughts recede In stillness of meditation Cessation ends our greed We disappear, attention’s still Baton of awareness to God cede Heart’s emptiness, bliss throbs fill God alone being the mover We do as He does will Divine umbrella, soul cover From head to feet, bliss replete Touched by grace, we’re a believer Who’ll believe there’s magnetic heat Divine paradox is beyond mind Most resist the bliss beat As ego tightens it’s bind Fear and desire being it’s fuel We’re free following pathways kind Back to school, love’s the only rule Let us be then wise, not a fool 18-February-2022
