Premiere Contest WinnerPiercing the veil

as silence layers silence
in time dissolved staid stillness
we sense ripples in the void
wherein our soul is centred
simply present in agendaless vibrance
attentive and receptive
not only to the words but meanings assigned
by murmurs of heart translated by the mind
a symbolic representation of light
as it is imbibed and assimilated
osmotically by our formless presence
as a soundless reverberation sublime
whose refrains echo in the cave of our heart
wherefrom gushing forth
the bardo that may not be named is then pierced
gently and mindfully imprinting our love
on the heart of God
thus invoking grace
by blurring all boundaries 
and ending separation

Congratulations on your trophy win, Seeker. ‘the bardo that may not be named’ – a mysterious and enigmatic concept. It reminds me of the liminal spaces between existence and non-existence, where souls wander, seeking enlightenment or rebirth. Sharing this (personal) philosophy was an excellent choice for the contest entry – the content is thought-provoking. Each reader will find their own truth amongst the words …

It underlines the value of writing from the heart and personal knowledge -- not to overthink it.
