From Darkness To Light

We are alive, this fact we know,
reaping the fruits of seeds we sow
and as into life we nosedive,
this fact we know, we are alive.

We feel hemmed in, in body-mind,
trapped by fears and desires that bind.
Deafened by incessant thought din,
in body-mind, we feel hemmed in.

To know ourself, we choose silence,
exiting thought flow violence.
With no agenda on our shelf,
we choose silence, to know ourself.

In timeless time, we feel God’s breath 
manifest as love’s healing meth
and as we heavenward so climb,
we feel God’s breath, in timeless time.

Divine entwined, we feel complete,
as nodes within pulsate upbeat
and playing our role as assigned,
we feel complete, divine entwined.

Very creative poetry, Unseeking Seeker. I really like the way you used the opening line of each verse as the closing line also. Excellent poetry my friend. A FAV for my list. Peace and joy, Bill
