From darkness to light

Here we are, as limited body, looking
outward because senses so seduce our soul
but in doing, we assume that we are the …
   doer in this dream.

Breath by breath thus, delusion slowly deepens,
hypnotising consciousness until it so
believes that all there is to it is this form …
   darkness shrouds heart’s glow.

Fortunately, if we choose without excuse,
we may reclaim at any time, bliss rapture
if we but so steady the flame of thought flow …
   light of Self then shines.

Who we are we know this way, when we pierce the
veil of lower mind and see without mirrors,
yet the truth so voiced may be known not to mind …
   heart’s where love grazes.
