For Unseekin Seeker's contest

“free from conditioned belief 

no agenda on our shelf

vibrant as the light of Self

life flows on all by itself”
 
Love of raw self is liberating
It is a beautiful thing to esteem
Self actualization is emancipating 
Flow within it as healthy blue stream

Tis no accident you are so unique
Wonderfully and fearfully made
Whether in youth or as an antique
Soul you’re in your designated space

It takes all kind of pressure
To make a precious diamond
Often inside we feel amber alone
That’s when we can find HIM 

The Curator of our heart of art
The Potter making us pure souls 
We are the product of a gracious God
Even if we don’t really yet know

Ignorance can be a bouquet of bliss
Until life becomes bitter and sour
We then find the Creator’s holy kiss
Of love in our most needed hour

The lucky find this in yellow youth
Some discover in maturity of ages
There is no time limit on teal truth
Reflection is in our hearts and faces

When you have a cranberry calling
No agenda you surrender to nature
The path provides like pearls falling
From holy scriptures by saintly Savior 

Humbled hearts have no vanity
For fire and life has purple pruned
And despite lavender life’s insanity
We become like the flowers bloomed

So trust the Lord and His process
Life flows on all by itself every day
You are a work of His hazel holiness
Keep this fact in your heart silver safe

"So trust the Lord and His process Life flows on all by itself every day" These are beautiful thoughts, dear Karen. Life flows by itself without strain. Our life is a vessel designed by our Lord. So it will naturally drift over tides and float smooth over the surface without sinking.
