Octaves Of Love


Line of inquiry: 
“joy, empathy, compassion
on an upward arc
an effervescence eternal
causes bliss ignition to start” - Unseeking Seeker

When sanctity of sane sense turns into anger inferno
with fury embers erupting from the violent volcano,
curling up feral with the spreading smoke of spite,
rationale rays remain concealed in sobriety spectrum.

We need not run away from the blaze to self-heal,
or seek shelter in the disdained den of disregard,
nor we should ignite another flame in enraged soul,
face malice intrepidly, and feel good in retaliation.

As a fire can’t ever extinguish or contain another fire, 
for, it burns fast in the linked space of attachment,
we confront malevolence  with calm confidence of poise,
don’t let the flame incinerate the serenity of our souls.

When flow of absolution springs with love from within 
with embracing empathy of mounting divine fountain,  
compassion douses spiteful fire with sympathy shower,
emanating with timeless joie de vivre of innate ecstasy.
