Perfect Brilliant Stillness

“Drop that thought, ego begot ~
Simply know, this form we’re not”
            ~ quote by poet


When the hammer falls,
anguish life flow stalls,
wherein, if we’re poised,
delusion’s destroyed.

Thus when thought is not,
truth’s Gordian knot 
opens to reveal
bliss in full appeal.

If we’d pierce the veil,
then let us set sail
in silence tranquil,
surrendering will.

The false falls away
and we cease to sway,
whereupon God’s light
is seen by clear sight.

Through both pain and joy,
let not thoughts decoy 
awareness of soul,
that makes us feel whole.
