Unseeking Seeker Poet Free verse

Hanging by a thread

medulla snapped and in that instant
our ego was detached from heart
the head was floating in space 
connected to heart by neck

hanging thus by a mere thread
consciousness rooted in the heart
we looked on at the strange apparition 
which once seemed to define who we are

our witness Self replete with peacefulness 
resplendent in its eternal luminescence 
free from both concepts and desires
now dwells within this earth vessel

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 3, 2024 at 1:50 PM Dear Seeker, your profound words create a picture of detachment and enlightenment. The imagery of the head floating, connected to the heart by a thread, symbolizes the separation of ego from essence. I loved your reflection on the witness Self, serene and untethered, speaks to the beauty of inner peace. This is a journey of self-discovery. Blessings, Daniel Unseeking Seeker April 3, 2024 at 5:50 PM Ah! A knower :) God bless you, dear Daniel
