Release

Ripples intrude in silence without cause, strange since serpentine desire spirals rest, so in witness mode, from our heart abode, awareness self-aware, just looking on, flows in and out of these dream forms with ease, relinquishing thought that’s ego begot. Attached to body-mind, heart is fear fraught, blindly obeying an unknown God’s laws but do what we will, we don’t get release and thus life itself, begin to detest, dooming our soul to drown in shame and scorn, burdened lifelong thus, under ego’s load. Finally one day, weary soul bellowed, ‘struggle and strife in life has come to naught, so shifting from head to heart, now reborn, may pristine presence escape from fear’s jaws, acting no longer at ego’s behest, freed once for all from the thinking disease’. We may stand erect or walk on our knees, free will choosing either high or low road and all it takes is to treat life in jest, refusing to be in illusions caught, clinging no longer to whatever was, for each breath we take, ushers a new dawn. Nonchalance yawns, seeing fear forms begone, whence mind of our heart begins to unfreeze and in timeless time false self dies because with turbid thoughts slowed, we flow in monk mode, living authentically as we ought, with joy embarking on our God search quest. Vaporised soul has no load on its chest, dancing playfully like a unicorn, having reduced erst attachments to naught, nurses no demons that it needs to please, lets bliss set aflame every body node, transcending space-time in the vibrant pause. Oh hermit, we’re both the effect and cause and once softened attention has mellowed, carefree soul sees life as a divine tease.
