Inner Galaxy
The self-obsessive free-will ever seemingly dormant,
envelopes the mind with an unreal veil transient,
obscures the ordained destination God decides,
l need to reach for I should at His will.
The unseen glow of the omnipresent light
floods my possessed essence, but I don’t perceive,
for I formulate the free-rule tenets enslaving the ego
in the realm of fantasized self-deception.
The stain of murky disdain blemishes the face,
I traverse the slimy ground of cardinal sin,
life is stifled by the corrupt clutch hidden within,
in repentance I feel the pernicious pangs of pain.
I travel unshackled out of the dark abyss of despair,
on inward journey through layers of consciousness,
perceive in the soul the radiance of divine beacon,
illumining the corridor leading to the abode of bliss.
The ill-conceived venture of the errant mind
finds gloomy dead end in the introspection path,
that’s when the door of the inner sanctum opens,
where the lotus blooms suffused with divine light.
The soul shines with astral radiance in my deep space
with the flaring brilliance of thousand suns,
in my self-searching odyssey at the edge of eternity
I discern the inner galaxy that turns me into a living light.
