Fleeting is joy and traumatic is pain We oscillate between desires and fears Granted free will but soon boon becomes bane Challenges of earth life drives us to tears We set goals but horizon disappears Like a spoilt child, endless is our wish list Dwelling in delusion till light appears Love alone is real and that’s the gist Oh, how long will we measure loss and gain Walking the tightrope, as our ego leers Joyous in sunshine, sorrowful in rain We cry for help but it seems no one hears Seeking touch divine, that endlessly cheers Shift to an open heart and unclenched fist It’s then that we break through divine frontiers Love alone is real and that’s the gist Erst fears and desires, whence all to rest lain Boundless bliss fills us, as God’s presence nears Again pure like a child, we’re free from stain Transfixed in joy that each pore of form spears Magnetic current that grips and endears At each step, caress divine does assist Soul transits from lower to higher gears Love alone is real and that’s the gist Days turn into months and years into years Our vaporised self, becomes a bliss mist God’s grace bountiful, our life journey steers Love alone is real and that’s the gist 29-December-2021
