A vertical tube closed at either end,
within which is soul, wishing to ascend
but all that surrounds is organic form,
brought forth to life by a divine bliss storm.

The body has it’s need which soul does feed;
soon tail wags the dog and need becomes greed.
Senses externalised, everything sized;
no wonder then, God’s rarely realised.

Who we are can never be negated.
Waking each morn, we find heart elated;
dwelling in silence, we reclaim soul’s bliss,
rapture unbound where nothing is amiss.

Sushumna illumined, pierces the crown ~
One with the universe, in love we drown

16-September-2022

Notes: Sushumna is an energy conduit, beginning at the root chakra and going straight up to the crown chakra. For further reading refer Wiki or any yogic text.

Indeed a yogic experience fortunate to be experienced by a limited few. In the majority, need grows into greed, senses get externalised and God is never realized. Only one who gets a glimpse of a transcendental bliss can write this kind of poems. Beautiful !

Yes and then again, why hold back to merely glimpse bliss? Bliss can be embodied to become a vivifying current in permanence, throbbing within our body, here now, renewing like our heartbeat or breath.
