phoenix rises

in mode embrace, release, then pause
we review lust versus God’s laws
with love being the litmus test
our soul’s light revealed, when heart thaws

nestled deep within our heart’s nest
breath by breath we are by God blessed
wherein all we do is renew
throb of magnetism, whilst at rest

rapture rises, each hue is new
nectar drips, fresh like mountain dew 
God’s grace in-pours through pores in space 
mysteries our mind cannot sew 

tango dancing at a slow pace
form a temple, where we efface
the false self, our wayward ego
to behold clearly, our true face

there’s nothing we do, save let go
that as we do so, we then know
body will die but not our soul
we have come here to feel love grow

When our cravings die and ego is slaughtered, we are able to think of God's edifying love. When love fills our heart, it is easier for us to let things go. When we establish a sense of oneness with a divine force, life becomes bliss and love becomes the litmus test. Divinely inspired thoughts, dear Seeker friend.

Thank you, Valsa. I have noticed that the heart centre of many fellow souls is closed, so they are stuck in their lower nature.
