freedom here now

the game of pretending
has gone on for too long
why do we crouch in fear
even though we are strong

with memory erased
we wander like the blind
a whisper comforts us
that soul’s divine aligned 

pausing the flow of thought
in tranquil witness stance
by feeling not thinking
we turn inward our glance

relinquishing knowing
dropping every belief
softening attention 
presence turns a new leaf

dwelling thus in the void
vibrance animated 
in timeless time we see
ego’s decimated

awareness self-aware
is then what we reclaim
bliss magnetism rises
rapture that has no name

as we so surrender
polarities mingle
that all’s one we then see
our eye becomes single

from outside looking in
poised beyond space and time
our peaceful heart at rest
we imbibe bliss beat’s chime
