Resistance

desolate hearts strangely resist embrace
perhaps due to fear of abandonment
signalling dying embers of seeking
cling to ego, negating atonement 

atonement as consciousness correction
requires no doing to be done by us
simply abiding in tranquil silence
bliss reverberates where no fears nonplus

To fear abandonment so much,that one pushes love away,an embrace away..That leaves on desolate indeed.Life is full of risks,of getting hurt,abandoned, but life is filled with getting loved too,if only we let it be.Love your poem

Yes, Charmaine ~ to love, laugh, cry, play, like a child, flowing in the now continuum, without planning, scheming, plotting, fearing. That means we become as such, which we can. We must choose, however. :)
