I couldn’t talk about it so I wrote a poem

At first we assumed everyone feels just the way we do
Being the light of Self in singularity present here in duality 
Bilocating breath by breath between form and formlessness 
Mind empty of concepts, heart detached and presence vibrant 
Moment to moment, all moments entwined in the continuum 
Embracing and releasing each life touch with nonchalance 
Attention transfixed in the play of bliss magnetism within

Over time we realised souls surrounding us were asleep
Which is to say, their consciousness was rooted in the ego
Causing them to be enslaved by cravings pertaining to form
Insentient to living light of God aflame in the cave of the heart
Little wonder, we found it was difficult for us to communicate 
For we spoke the language of tender love and gentleness 
Whilst they were oriented toward lust and domination

No, it was clear that we did not fit in here, in this zoo
No judgments but it was clearly a vibrational mismatch
Inundated by the cacophonous din of conditioned beliefs
We took shelter in the ever present flow of Holy Spirit within
Alone whilst surrounded by unconscious minds all around 
Choosing a pseudonym and penning our soul’s emote
Of the dance of polarities orbiting love in the void

I enjoyed the Spiritual connection I felt in your words and the struggle in us all between spirit and flesh. Whichever we feed the most will be stronger. Poetry is something that feeds my spirit and starves my flesh, most of it anyway. I hope I interpret your words correctly! You write in code which is the poets trade mark! Xoxo

Thank you, Crystal. We each have two selves, the ego or identity related to ephemeral body-mind and our soul related to eternal spirit or God consciousness. We are where our attention is at, becoming what we prioritise.
