not quite turiya

bliss dewdrops sprinkled on our head
signal we are by God’s hand led
holding our soul in close embrace
as we mindfully on earth tread

steps toward heaven we retrace
that here now we may see God’s face
for tomorrow may be too late
since ego we’ve failed to efface

though strobes of bliss do not abate
strangely uncertain seems our fate
since our focus tends to waver
thus we dwell not in the fourth state
