Freedom From Bondage

Encased in form, soul clamours to be free In every which way, we feel incomplete We are tethered to our mind-body tree All we seem to do is think, sleep and eat As we age, we feel energy deplete We wish to have the cake and eat it too Feeling within, blissful magnetic heat Soul rises through octaves of each love hue Heart’s enmeshed in desires, spewing envy We fake a smile, when fellow souls we greet Impulse of mind and heart are contrary Joyous in victory, sink in defeat Elusive is joy, ego is the cheat As of karmic merit, blessings accrue Why then do we hark not, the divine beat Soul rises through octaves of each love hue We’re confined, until with love we agree When head melds with heart, geometry’s neat The first step is to build our empathy Our consciousness fulcrum, at the heart seat Where bliss explodes, when polarities meet Once we make heart pure, like the morning dew We are graced with bliss, each moment upbeat Soul rises through octaves of each love hue Once we let go of ego, at God’s feet We imbibe boundless bliss, felt by but few May firm be God search quest, with no retreat Soul rises through octaves of each love hue 19-March-2022 Freedom poetry contest Sponsor: Robert James Liguori
