Be wary dear soul of lull before the storm
Languish not in comfort zone
Complacency sets in, amidst bliss caress warm
Yet crisis strikes, when we’re alone
Too late then, for us to atone

Make no mistake; the universe will test
At the least expected moment
The pure of heart lightly pass this off in jest
For the rest, it’s dark fear poignant 
We turn to God, omnipotent 

Yet too often, we falter at the altar 
Since we choose to dwell in darkness 
We stand not firm, like the rock of Gibraltar 
Reflex response stuporousness 
Deadened is our consciousness 

Thus moment to moment, oh dear lama
Let’s hark to voice of conscience 
Heart cleansed of stigma, life then no enigma
Sparkles childlike innocence 
Aglow in God’s luminescence

Should I falter at the altar, I shall remember to gain strength from the image of the Rock of Gibralter. Cosmic penning, Seeker! :) gw
