‘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 06-September-2022 The A's Have It Poetry Contest Sponsor: Joseph May

God Alone Is, absolutely stunning, and awesome! I have never done this form, and you wrote is so well. 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.

Thank you, Legros! Of course, the shift within is gradual, not exactly an on-off switch
