Recognition

holding onto no memory imagery
except as common sense recalls
we’re present in the here and now
blown away by benign bliss squalls

we are that that makes us aware 
light of Self that illumines our mind
we are the spirit that feels duality
bestowing sight to ego born blind

stark contrasts yearn to reconcile
for deep down they know all is one
choosing to meld head with heart
ego vaporises as we come undone

seeing our soul thus stripped bare
remaining motionless in vast space
all that remains is the light of Self
upon which we see God face to face
