Journey of Life

the struggle within
seems never ending
ego urges spiralling
addictive hypnotic spin

encased in mind body
we identify with its desires
gluey attachments mire
attention in thoughts shoddy

there are two contestants 
left hand corner lust brothel
right hand stands love temple
referee free will innocent 

no excuse as we choose
resonation with any vibration 
perilous is ego association
for both gander and goose

when we get to this knowing
domain external ephemeral 
internal joy of heart eternal
we feel love within blossoming 

there is no shame in indulgence 
earth life is a hard school
teething children tend to drool
in time we align with conscience 

over time the false falls away
we rest in the void of silence
divine entwined in bliss parlance 
our attention ceasing to sway
