Luminescence

“Be still oh hermit and take a sneak peek ~
We are living light, we always did seek”
            ~ quote by poet


Made in God’s image, we are light,
pulsating by day and by night,
which is cognised, when heart is still,
beholding truth with inner sight.

Head-heart discord makes soul feel ill,
until we surrender our will,
gentling thought, giving love a nod,
whereupon dark voids within fill.

Love then is the means to reach God,
whence light bursts forth from body pod,
our bliss drenched heart then feels complete,
a blossoming that leaves us awed.

Enabled by magnetic heat, 
breath by breath, rises God’s bliss beat,
transforming feeble body-mind,
from head to toe thus, joy replete.

We know not the light, being blind,
veiled by narrow cravings that bind,
yet we can, here and now be free,
by choosing thoughts, words and deeds kind. 

Silence and stillness holds the key,
enabling carefree soul to see
its eternal luminescence,
expanding as per God’s decree.
