Unseeking Seeker Poet Ottava rima

Notes About The Poem

Rise Like the Phoenix

Born illumined, with an open fontanel,
we were then entwined with universal mind
but crown closed as we grew, which did not bode well
for soul now trapped in ego's remorseless bind
and so we sank until we let out a yell,
screaming for freedom and since God's always kind,
He bestowed divine grace, igniting love's flame,
whereupon bliss drenched, we rose in life's endgame.

Valsa George October 20, 2022 at 4:50 AM As God is so merciful, even if we fall, we can rise like phoenix if we liberate ourselves from ego's sinister hold . Great thoughts and great image, dear Seeker friend! Unseeking Seeker October 20, 2022 at 5:33 AM So happy you liked the poem, Valsa. Yes, God helps us IF we wish to help ourselves by using bestowed free will to align with unconditional love and trusting* (*not resisting) the divine current to transform us.
