Notes About The Poem

Longing For Life

Life is consciousness All encompassing In each realm That is Upon earth Related to man In the third density Vital life breath is love Love employs no force Allows us to choose From Gunas* three Our life path At the bottom Tamas or stupor Feels separate, inert Sadly, dwells in darkness Shift to interconnectedness Propelled by Rajas desire With sporadic empathy Love flame flickers Sattva Guna Head-heart meld Compassion blossoms One with God-consciousness Oh hermit, as we may see All is already enabled Love door is open Just walk in 22-February-2021 * Guna (Sanskrit) is a concept in Hinduism and Sikhism, which can be translated as "quality, peculiarity, attribute, property". ... These three Gunas are called: Sattva (goodness, calmness, harmonious), Rajas (passion, activity, movement), and Tamas (ignorance, inertia, laziness). All of these three Gunas are present in everyone and everything, it is the proportion that is different, according to Hindu worldview. The interplay of these Gunas defines the character of someone or something, of nature and determines the progress of life. ~ Source Wikipedia F Form - Free Verse- New - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France Theme word: Life
