Perceptive Consciousness

If the anchorage of the wayward mind is unsteady Unbound from the righteous roots of sanctified soul In the dislodging thrust of the upwelling desires The untamed instincts rush feral on sordid trail. The unbridled mind turns into a predator animal Breaks away from the shackles of virtuous sanity Chases the prey on the track made by brutal craving The basic instincts morph into entities base and virile. Deflected from the course shown by the moral compass Time plunges the being in the vortex of vicious storm Breaking it down into discarded debris of wreckage While the voice of God echoes in conscience unheard. Life is the embodiment of the unique existence The construct of divine elements almighty chooses Manifest magnificently suffused with heavenly essence Within the trinity of coalescing body, mind and soul. Beneath the surface of perceptive mortal senses The mind builds all the dreams it desires to see Allured by aspirations into the dark unawareness It suffers wandering in the wilderness of barren life. Under the convolute layers of the clouded mind At the sinister inner depth resides the gloomy soul Until awareness dawns with the light of eternal truth Builds unbetrayed the holy linkage with the absolute. Travelling on the enlightened pathway of devout life An inward journey to the sacred sanctum of spiritualism Takes the soul to the ultimate destination of liberation Where consciousness perceives the meaning of existence. ___________________ April 19, 2022 Contest : Soul Betrayal Sponsored by : Unseeking Seeker
