Prior to intent

Before creative impulse arises,
poised in time stretched peace of stillness sedate,
tidings carried by God’s will apprises
our presence to embrace its destined fate.

Living in the now, we simply allow,
the rising and subsiding of life’s tides,
trusting divine magnetism to endow
our form with bliss as in the void it glides.

Knowing all is one vaporises will,
that flowing with ease like the wafting breeze,
sipping soma nectar to our heart’s fill,
no demons remain for us to appease.

Having left erst fears and desires behind,
with ego exhumed, no fetters now bind.

Dear US, my Philosopher Friend. The 'time stretched peace' you’ve captured here is beautiful. I believe you’ve articulated the exact moment where human intent meets divine will. What I find most deep is the idea of the 'void' not being empty, but being a space where bliss glides. A 'nectar' of a poem. Winter Blessings, Dear US, Daniel

Thank you, Daniel. Thought is the dualistic processing of heart’s intent arising from an impulse from God or Self in singularity, our true being inseparable from the whole, though for now capsuled in organic form. Hence the prayer, ‘may Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven’.
