Unseeking Seeker Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

God Alone Is

‘Mind negates, obscuring’ truth in a thought fog
Being but brazen attempts of our ego
To bemuse and confuse by such ruse, veiling light of God

‘So that under’ cloak of darkness, life an enigma
For worn, weary, wistful humans who’ve had a fistful
Of pain borne of heart’s stain, afraid to let go
Of fears and desires borne of delusion in world of illusion
‘As bound, caged’ and upstaged, soul feels not free

Life game losing by prioritising ‘Me, Mine and I’
Thus feeling remiss being not touched by bliss

Thank you for reaching deeply into a soul with a mirror of wisdom. Sometimes the here and now, the bliss we long for blinds us to Who He is. Unseeking Seeker September 6, 2022 at 6:23 PM Thank you, Legros! Of course, the shift within is gradual, not exactly an on-off switch

Michael Tor September 6, 2022 at 4:52 AM Unseeking S. This Verse form of Poetry was a pleasure to read this morning. Really enjoyed. Have a nice day and be blessed my friend... Unseeking Seeker September 6, 2022 at 4:59 AM Thank you, Michael ~ following the contest prompt.
