Unseeking Seeker Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Play Possum

Play possum, feeding not dark fears
As they spiral inwards 
Choose bliss instead, that love endears 
Propelling us upwards 

Transcend fear and desire
For love and light, aspire
Pure innocence afire

We’re awesome
Play possum

Sam Kauffman November 4, 2021 at 11:22 AM What a singularly unique image of "playing possum" to transcend negative energy Seeker. Every action in your Quietus stems from choice and taking responsibility for "bliss" and enduring love. Enjoyed this very much. Congratulations and blessings of bliss to you! Unseeking Seeker November 6, 2021 at 4:51 AM Thanks Sam! As we be, so we are, as we are, so we become, we be to become!

Jenna Logan October 24, 2021 at 3:16 AM Our lives are of our own choosing, but too many refuse to take the blame. Very well expressed, Seeker. Unseeking Seeker October 24, 2021 at 8:22 AM Thank you, Jenna!

Caren Krutsinger October 23, 2021 at 2:00 AM It is sad that people do not realize you can "choose bliss" so this meant everything "Choose bliss instead, that love endears " Wow! Unseeking Seeker October 23, 2021 at 6:51 AM Yes … we are where, our attention is at ~ as we be so we become
