Body decays, it’s clear we’ve lost our way A wasted life, measuring loss and gain Unable to keep dark fear forms at bay Gift of free will boon, has since become bane We’re bound hand to foot by the ego chain Yet freedom ours, if we cease to wander In deep silence and stillness, bliss ingrain Each breath a prayer, in childlike wonder Cessation the way, when love’s our mainstay Erst feral fears and desires, to rest lain Head and heart aligned, the false falls away Looking back know, our waywardness inane Being cause of suffering and our pain We’re free now, having chosen surrender Lamp of love is lit in our heart again Each breath a prayer, in childlike wonder Once we go in within, earth life mere play Equal for us then, are both sun and rain Fearless soul presence, overcomes clouds grey God Himself cleanses our past karmic stain Melding with oneness, this life’s not in vain Within heart we feel the soundless thunder Bliss pulsations cascade, by night and day Each breath a prayer, in childlike wonder Bliss rapture renews, without any strain As love grows, we leave no hearts asunder Luminous with light, is our central vein Each breath a prayer, in childlike wonder 10-January-2022

Oh, fabulous! What a grand poem this is! Epic! I like how you phrased and utilized the language so poetically. This is filled with truth and great observations! Free will can become a bane, yes! And 'Once we go in within, earth life mere play'...agreed!
