Our dilemma
we signed up for earth life
with memory erased
immersed in trance
to grow in love and wisdom
learning breath by breath by touch
but ego hijacked stuporous awareness
whence we deludedly believed we are form
and so nurtured lust and greed mirrored by fear
even though deep down we did recognise
that organic form is doomed to die
and is therefore definitely unreal
still we languished in denial
fearful to relinquish imagined control
continuing to oscillate between opposites
trauma bonding with ego and nurturing suffering
we found peace in thought rested silence
and in moments when love became manifest
for in these God gifted immersions ego receded
and therefore the path to freedom was self-evident
but to extinguish identity whilst heart was beating
it was too much of an ask for us to consider
even though scriptures validated truth
we remained captive to thought
alive as a dead man walking
