Unseeking Seeker Poet Rubaiyat

Notes About The Poem

Flight To Freedom

Something’s amiss, in this matrix
All that we see, is doomed to die
Our form’s but sticks and bones and bricks
Within which ego’s up to tricks

Delusion - heart’s cry, as we sigh
When feral urge, we don’t decry
Trauma bonding with lower mind
The time’s now hermit, to ask why

Going through turbid earth life grind 
Heart’s desires grip us in their bind
If only we dwell in silence 
Bliss ours, if we’re with love aligned

Rekindling inner sentience 
Bursts forth innate luminescence 
God’s light aglow, in cave of heart
Cascading bliss effervescence

David Kavanagh March 8, 2022 at 4:42 AM If only we where allowed to live in silence Seeker, your first stanza I totally agree, your second one to a certain extent from the hermits pov, the third is where our paths diverge, for me to live in silence I must pander to an oppressors will, and I refuse to, your final stanza I feel can only be achieved if we are not controlled by oppression and terror tactics, I feel incumbent to protect my family existentially, of course I’m only giving my opinion based on the society I live in, cheers David David Kavanagh March 8, 2022 at 8:02 AM I appreciate and thank you for the detailed response Seeker, I only ask these questions to try understand your poems not to judge your methods, I respect your a person of peace and forbearance, cheers David Unseeking Seeker March 8, 2022 at 7:05 AM Silence is not negation of life but rather recognition of ‘who am I’ as soul or spirit, whereupon we live internally, vibrantly, in but not of the world, engaged in activity but detached from outcomes. We play our life role as a conduit of God’s will and life force. As for oppressors, the Mahabharata is the best example - Krishna (God) asking Arjuna to engage in battle to uphold righteousness

Anil Deo March 8, 2022 at 2:47 AM Existentially & spiritually true ... at least I experienced this between 17&20 years of age. Living the. At Divine Life Society ashram, I felt I was going through the motions of college, which didn't matter, as I wanted more meditation, mind-work. This poem took me there ...
