Notes About The Poem

Practising the Presence

Mindfully observing thoughts rise and subside
For our attention they hanker
If we feed them not and in the vast void glide
Far distanced from noisy clanker 
We offer no anchor for rancour

Going in deeper, we attempt to find the cause
That drew in fear and desire
To discern the truth, we put thought on pause
Consigning ego to the pyre
Revealing heart, all afire

So, ego smoke and glowing heart, soul flame
Misalignment cause of conflict 
God search the aim so let us play this game
Head and heart meld, both with love inked
We roam the divine precinct 

So far so good, bliss suffused, we stand erect 
All nodes within form, in joy dance
Magnetic bliss currents burst forth unchecked
Joy in permanence happenchance
All because of head-heart balance
