Notes About The Poem

Fallen From Grace

Fallen from grace, our heart seeks expansion
That we once again see God face-to-face
Cyclic pain and joy cause agitation
Pursuit of happiness, unending chase

Memory erased, life puzzles we lace
Following our ego spawned suggestion
To get ahead, we thereby brace to race
Fallen from grace, our heart seeks expansion

One day we get to point of exhaustion
Surrendering thought, relying on grace
Stillness and silence our meditation 
That we once again see God face-to-face

Recognising stagnation as disgrace
Enter the vibrant void of cessation
Fears and desires, gradually deface
Cyclic pain and joy cause agitation

At ease like the breeze; earth a play station 
Detachedly flowing at an easy pace
Ceasing to offer any reaction
Pursuit of happiness, unending chase

Each offered experience, we embrace
Choosing vibrant life of celebration 
Each ego impression, to root we trace 
That there no longer be separation 
Fallen from grace

Seeker, wonderful writing, I so admire your use of words, oh yes that ego can be a very heavy and ponderous thing to carry around, peace _Constance

I have never given up on God. I know I'm just a grain of dust, but God shed his blood for us. That gives me hope.

True. Yet, as the old adage goes ‘God helps those, who help themselves’ … we must make an effort to enhance awareness and become love enabled
