Once upon a time, basking in sublime gardens of Eden
blissful essence of presence did as was bidden
soul ingrained with delight from head to toe
imbibing divine elixir, joyful heart aglow
humming a happy melodious verse
in resonance with pulse of the universe
feeling complete, in heightened bliss replete
until head and heart cracked, love sank to our feet
Reworded, we may say we shifted away from oneness
to a deluded, imaginary stature of ego separateness
presence feeling limited, imperfect and flawed
earthbound till soul be healed and thawed
pursuing desire in maya borne illusion
until exhaustion gets us to the recognition
that joy eternal lies not in the transient ephemeral
we again rekindle love in heart, with cognition spherical
In this journey without movement, we take off ego mask
for which no doing need be done, so easy is this task
our heart which is broken, due to love forsaken
shakes off deluded facade, when shaken
shifting by cessation into stillness and silence
awakening inner polarity of mind-body sentience
fabric of ignorance torn, ego shorn, now twice born
suffused by love magnetism warm, we once again adorn
