Joy vs bliss

caged in a form in this domain
fleeting is joy as also pain
since we feel not one with the source 
thus are prone to struggle and strain

if we give up the use of force
discarding feral instincts coarse
befriending silence, love entwined
we read script of bliss penned in morse

head melds with heart, love aligned
one with oneness, the truth’s divined
bliss in permanence here to stay
all cravings of ego declined

making love and light our mainstay 
our heart emits a bliss sun ray 
being that flame we have become 
making earth life seem like mere play
