Notes About The Poem

Heart Lotus

Within our heart, two pure lotuses shine
Love enabled, in an invisible void
Quietude of stillness, makes them both one
Moments sublime, when we feel overjoyed

One lotus looks to sky, other to earth
Rippleless void in between, the mirror
As veils thin, colour of love, empathy
Sensing each fellow beings hearts tremor

The false falls away, as desires recede
Meditation our orientation 
Love our sturdy steed, lower cravings weeds
Infusing in our heart, pure compassion

Now a hollow shell, with love magnetised
Childlike innocence, draws in the current
Ignition renewal, within our heart
Suffused with bliss, our native element 

Lotuses bloom, becoming a bliss mist
Spiritual light, soft white, radiant
Heightened is our delight, through day and night
Purity of soul, tranquil contentment

One can see the ladder that takes a man from its lower rank to the top: that is purity.
