From darkness to light

We beseech heavens to ignite our heart that mind may see the light, opaqued by both fear and desire, thus long and lonesome seems the night. Death looms ahead and now we tire of narrow thought forms we do sire, so befriending silence we pause, with vast space choosing to conspire. In staid stillness fickle heart thaws, clipping in this way, ego’s claws, that thus doing nothing at all, we see our true Self, free from flaws. When we are still and thought forms stall, we hear clearly God’s loving call, asking us to wake up from sleep, that truth of being, we recall. Silence the void, wherein we leap, plunging headlong into the deep, prior to which head and heart merge, whence boons of grace we then so reap. Feeling within divine mists surge, our heart within the stream we purge, witnessing wayward ego die, that from delusion we emerge. Peace engulfs us, we hear soul sigh, in joy waving ego goodbye, seeing earth life as but a dream, now free at last, ready to fly.

Therein lies the source of many problems... head and heart don't always agree. "In staid stillness fickle heart thaws, clipping in this way, ego’s claws," Great lines, among others in this write, Seeker. Shedding an ego frees the soul to breathe. Love this one!

If head and heart do not agree then we must admit that we are in a state of inner conflict, is it not?
