Path strewn with rose petals

We watch in wonderment, light dawn in us,
even as we rest in peaceful repose,
distanced from thought forms, designed to nonplus
our caged consciousness, fragrant like a rose.
God dwells in our heart, ego in the head
and we have been given freedom to choose,
by which impulse we prefer to be led,
shaping our life upon which we then cruise.
If truth be the filter distilling thought,
God’s will is enacted by us on earth,
elixir of love untying heart’s knot,
whence we surf waves of fate bubbling in mirth.
Silence is the path we’ve embarked upon ~
With each breath intake, we’re again reborn

With each breath intake, we’re again reborn,
looking neither back nor ahead in time,
outcomes any, nonchalant is our yawn,
since there are no peaks which we wish to climb.
As the light of God ensouling this form,
body-mind is but like a car we drive,
thus with strobes of love and light we conform
and with pure intent, flame of truth revive.
Content as we are, there is no seeking,
for we are a dweller of the vast void,
heeding whispers of God, in us speaking,
obeying which, delusion is destroyed.
Rebel, a nerd, we follow not the herd ~
For us, Om is God’s gong, His holy word 

 us, Om is God’s gong, His holy word,
a throb that arises all on its own,
divine magnetism by which nodes are stirred,
benediction bestowed on us alone.
Suffused with cool heat from head till our feet,
we slowly begin to metamorphose,
aligning presence to the cosmic beat,
dance of delight, striking a joyful pose.
In timeless time when ego has capsized,
transcending space-time, we as living light,
meet God face to face and truth’s realised,
becoming the flame that banishes night.
God’s touch is love; we’ve boarded His bliss bus ~
We watch in wonderment, light dawn in us

Wow this is beautiful dear seeker, Soulfully moving and so heart touching, the pulse of peace and faith so eloquently woven in the form of sonnet! I dunno how you do it but your title and every line here so well articulated truly left me breathless in awe inspired! So many lines warmed my heart, such as “ elixir of love untying heart’s knot, whence we surf waves of fate bubbling in mirth.” fave this is! I dont think i can do this form but your words impress! Sending you light always

Thank you, IE dear. We each have our poetic style. You lean towards free verse following the beauteous rhythm of your glowing heart, while I prefer rhyming forms, which come naturally. As I often ask myself, ‘wherefrom came that exalted thought, that inspirations with it brought?’
