“may refining consciousness layer by layer be our pristine childlike heart’s, breath by breath prayer” ~ quote by poet Caged in feeble form, our odyssey began, with memory erased, enslaved by senses and confused by mind, yet the soul said we can live in the present and not in past tenses, so slowing down thought flow, we started to scan cause of angst, demolishing ego fences. Looking within, our awareness self-aware, we laid in the vast void, our childlike heart bare. Befriending silence was no easy cakewalk, since we were unable to keep our mind still, with demons of fear continuing to stalk, so maintaining vigil, we tried to distil desires arising in heart, that seemed to block descent of grace, needing surrendering will. Upon recognising we’re not the doer, we then relinquished delusions of grandeur. Our shift into silence invoked magnetism, felt vividly within as rapture of bliss, known by touch, distanced from each and every ism, which in simple words, is Divine Mother’s kiss, igniting from head to toe, mind-body prism; feeling of completeness, with nothing amiss. This odyssey, a journey to merge with God, reveals the light of Self, leaving presence awed.

This is engaging and deep! I read it twice as it has layers of wisdom that required me to disrobe my thoughts and dive in! Well done poetess!
