Doublethink Beliefs

Beliefs doublethink
or else we will sink
in gloom
and soul’s light will shrink,
so concepts rethink
and groom
head and heart to link,
allowing love’s blink
some room.

Let us not presume 
that joy will resume
unless
we let bliss beats zoom,
whence love petals bloom
to bless
form that does entomb
soul in divine womb
caress.

The time’s not to guess
but simply undress
fear chink,
by craving for less
to exit the mess
we ink
that we may progress,
love and light access,
uplink.

'by craving for less // to exit the mess' --- true words of wisdom here... Why can so few adhere?! ~ Blessings, Seeker

Thank you, gw ~ we cling to whatever transient objects (that includes material and mental attributes) we possess or would like to possess due to ignorance as to our true nature of who we are, which is not perishable mind-body.
