Unseeking Seeker Poet Didactic

keep it simple

here we are in decaying form
searching for happiness eternal
strangely amidst desires ephemeral 

each night in dreams, we conjure illusions 
we are both the subject as also all the objects
hypnotised, we experience a gamut of emotions
but on waking up at morn we heave a sigh of relief 

what if the waking state we call real is also a dream
with death of body-mind being the end of delusion
if this be so then why would we identify with form
instead of recognising here now our true being 

is not the truth of existence before our eyes
in the pause of each polarity interchange 
in thought rested joy animated vibrance

beyond space-time and all manifestations
we as living light yet remain as consciousness 
vibrant, aflame, aglow, free and feeling complete 
dwelling thus for all eternity in transcendental peace

Ryan Gayagay November 3, 2024 at 2:26 AM Beautiful piece. Fluid, deep, meditative. I like the 3rd stanza most of all; for a moment, I paused and pondered on the question. Aside from the message, I also find the over-all appearance of this poem so neat, so easy for the eyes. Great work! Unseeking Seeker November 3, 2024 at 8:13 AM Thank you, Ryan
