Keeping God-search simple

The Line of Inquiry

Of the fact we are alive, we are sure  
All else scriptures say, may or may not be  
So presence vibrant, heart pure and demure  
As formless awareness we become free


       Keeping God-search simple

I sit by a stream that sparkles in winter's coldest breath  
Counting stars millions of ancient fires in black silk  
My own breath falters thin as a soul lost in space  
Gasping like the breathless I once watched die

Then it hits of the fact we are alive we are sure  
This rise and fall of chest needs no verse to prove it  
All else scriptures say may or may not be  
But cold air on skin starlight in eyes this is true

Each inhale a gift each exhale a prayer  
Senses bloom the stream's hymn winter's bite  
All borrowed all blessing nothing is mine yet all is given  
Those stars watched eons before my first heartbeat

Still I am not small God placed a mirror in me  
Consciousness the lamp by which I see  
So presence vibrant heart pure and demure  
I bow to no fear need no walls

Metaphysics whispers I am not body not thought  
I am the witness behind both the quiet I Am  
As formless awareness we become free  
In that space worry has no chains grief no weight

No book mapped this for me  
The universe itself is the verse  
My quintessence to live to know to thank  
If God invited one He invited all

Humanity read your own existence  
You are the message the meaning the proof
