Eternal Life

recognising that organic form will perish
and the thought of eternal life we cherish
we set out to explore if this could be true
which scriptures affirm if grace we accrue
enabled provided we stop the flow of time
in tranquil silence attuned to love's chime
essentially requiring that thoughts be still
in effect choosing to surrender egoic will
and so when imaginary identity fell away
we saw the absolute truth as clear as day
