If This Was the Last

Fear of future, regrets of past 
Both have roots in our lower mind
Dwelling in the eternal now
Sparks bliss that may not be defined

Vaporised presence gentles touch
Entwined with the vast universe
There remains then nothing to seek
Humming a melodious verse

Labyrinths of speculation
Orbits needs of organic form
But for awareness void centric
Each breath manifests a bliss storm

Resting mind’s memory recall
Employing consciousness of soul
Throb of aliveness heart’s worship
Feeling joyous, blissful and whole

Outcomes never speculated
Delighting in life’s dance sublime
Transcending both if’s and maybe’s 
Endlessly renews, God’s love chime

Mist of bliss poses no question
Effervescence stagnates nowhere
Love is a ceaseless outpouring
Pristine awareness, self-aware

Emerging from ego’s cocoon
Upon becoming the answer
To gong of Om, behold soul swoon 
Akin to a cosmic dancer

Thank you, Barbara. I guess poets write what resonates with them, within, as of heart’s affinity, inspirations come from the universe, so looking at it this way, it just happens, effortlessly.

Quite a deep and profound take on the contest with a sense of spirituality, especially the ending... let go of the ego is so important, it really does set us free, sadly some cant let go of their ego, especially narcissistic people... Some great verses in your poem like labyrinths of speculation and that last stanza is a great ending.. Thank you for writing and congratulations on your placement..
