Letter To Our Children

Here we are, on planet earth In human form, with senses five God wishes heart bubbles with mirth That stirrings of love, joyfully come alive God’s plan seems easy and fun at first glance But looking outward, attention externalised Bemused by illusions, we enter trance And truth of soul is never realised If God is, why does He hide Why are we in this form confined If God’s omnipresent, He must be inside How may ultimate truth of existence be divined Dear child, such are questions we must ask That the ultimate truth be known to us Let us then get down to the task That fears no longer nonplus We are alive, this we know The source then must be within In staid silence making thoughts slow Throb of heart beckons, so let’s go therein Dear child, this is a journey we each take alone It is a direct inquiry to become self-aware Inner polarity of senses in silence hone With vastness of space, gently pair Keeping alive innocence childlike Let heart be pure and our touch gentle Love magnetism invoked, bliss beats spike We then attain direct wisdom transcendental No sermons or books can teach us to be as such This is a becoming, a transmutation of form Feeling, not thinking, we learn by touch Truth of God’s sublime caress warm
