Going In Within

Oft in the still of the dark unforgiving night
We do wake up trembling with remorse
Ego borne ferality cause of our plight
Consciousness correction the only recourse

Hardwired and left brained we make a list
Of inner urgings resulting in contraction
Habit borne patterns that insistently persist
Deep gloom shrouding our innate elation

What we see is that all fears mirror desire
Being two sides of coin called attachment 
Anchoring our attention in delusion ego sires
Holding us thus captive in discontentment 

Looking at our dilemma in spiralling fears
We begin by accepting reality as it is
Thus resisting not negativity ego spears
We exit the game of solving quiz after quiz

Rotating polarity of attention effortlessly
We go in within into our heart centre
Choosing to listen to conscience intently
Within the void of emptiness bliss enters

Thus it is not the type of fear but fear itself
Mirroring desires amidst external illusions
Blocking connection of lower mind with Self
Joy ignition rekindled in stillness of meditation

What a wonderful, deep, rich, poetic expression of inner reflections, Unseeking Seeker. Though our own fears can hold us back.. we need to exercise self-initiative to reap rewards. Beautiful! Congratulations for your excellent win in Chantelle's contest.. ~Susan
