Notes About The Poem

I Am

I tried
But failed

To see
God's light

Affirmed
As true

By monks
Who've seen

So I
Retried

This time
Heart still

No thought
No fear

Patterns
Recede

Presence
Vibrates

Bliss beats
Heighten

It's strange
I thought

No, no
Please don't

Thinker
Must die

Doer
Must rest

What is
Just is

Don't think
Just feel

Love throb
Within

Body
An urn

Where bliss
Flame burns

The void
Whispers

Listen
Gently

Soften
Focus

Let time
Dissolve

Soul's in
Bardo

Silence
The key

Pure heart
The way

Then I
Who sought

Knew that
All are

The That
God's light

That's now
Revealed

Oh joy
I Am
