It Only Seems That Way
Upon earth facing adversity
as we are shaped upon the anvil
oblivious to our innate pulse of divinity
we strive and struggle surrendering not will
causing disequilibrium of our serenity
until love divine in heart instils
throb of bliss in continuity
It only seems that way
since fickle attention sways
making ego cravings our mainstay
Feeling thus separate from the source
focusing solely upon personal attainment
we succumb to feral thought patterns coarse
desires spiralling within without abatement
nudging us to resort to the use of force
spewing seeds of discontentment
until love corrects our course
It only seems that way
since fickle attention sways
making ego cravings our mainstay
