Ego - Persona Non Grata


Pre-puberty years
Playful innocence 
Warm ready embrace
Quarrels, aberrations 
Rapidly erased
An uncluttered mind
Open, forgiving heart
Reborn each morn anew

Growing up, ego manifests
Taught to be street smart 
Testosterone levels high
Feral instincts prevail
In the game of one-upmanship 
Need to win our obsession
Heart shrouded in darkness 
Conscience whispers in dreams

Upon expending our energy
Recognising earth life transience 
We look at dark thought spirals
A Frankenstein we created
Remorseless devouring our soul
We are astonished and dismayed
Looking at these sunken vibrations 
We have chosen to stagnate in

To erase negativity from its roots
We stop the flow of turbid thoughts
By shifting our attention inwards 
Into the hidden recesses of our heart
In time stretched stillness and silence
Negating the oscillations that surface 
Until we become a rippleless lake
Choosing to remain for eternity thus

In timeless time, the false falls away
Fulcrum of our consciousness, space
Our mind-body now an empty shell
Cleansed of erst ego borne dark stains
Reveals from deep within our heart
Our true self shining, bubbling with bliss
Magnetised by the healing light divine
Suffusing all nodes with ecstatic rapture

Boundaries blur between others and us
We feel underlying interconnectedness 
Recognising in time that love alone real
All other vibrations but thought constructs
Entrapping our attention in myriad illusions 
Plunging our consciousness in delusion
Thus we meld head with heart and love
Twice born here now in the flesh, erect

Earth dream life yet plays on in as ordained 
We enact our role in resonation with love
Our vaporised self is immune from harm
Simply because there is no identity within
That that is, is a bliss mist, a living light
Empowered by the sublime breath of God
Thus we inhale vital life force with gratitude 
With exhalation in simplistic childlike surrender
