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

Crystol Woods Date: 7/23/2024 9:31:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Unseeking Seeker Date: 7/23/2024 6:42:00 PM 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.

Silent One Date: 7/22/2024 11:37:00 AM I am sure you still talk about such spiritual things? No? Well at least you have your poetry and hundreds of poems on the subject.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest.. Login to Reply Unseeking Seeker Date: 7/22/2024 6:32:00 PM Yes, my poems are mostly centred on spirituality, true. Thanks for hosting, Silent One and for the placement, God bless.

Tom Woody Date: 6/29/2024 10:08:00 AM Interesting poem contrasting the spiritual mind with the fleshly one. The Bible has much to say on the subject. There is a chasm that separates the two and communication on a meaningful level can become challenging, if not impossible. Jesus was up for the challenge though, searching for one heart in a million. His followers do the same, though imperfectly Login to Reply Unseeking Seeker Date: 6/29/2024 10:21:00 AM Appreciate your deep reflections, Tom. Scores of masters and sages across all cultures, including Jesus, Buddha and many others have pointed out the path; we have to walk upon it ourselves, however.
