Seek shelter

Enslaved by ego, we are bound, fears and desires twirl us around and the joy we seek seems distant, for we walk not on holy ground. Why oh why, are we resistant, to inner light, self-existent, so to find out, we shift to heart that our actions be consistent. Heart requires we add love to cart, enabling bliss rapture to start, so we seek shelter in the void, deeming all souls one, none apart. Thus with dark delusion destroyed, no longer by ego cravings toyed, aligning with the universe, mind of God is by us employed. In stream of love, heart we immerse, that bliss borne magnetism may nurse wounds of our past, which as yet bleed, ending at last, ego spawned curse. Our heart abode lets bliss beats lead, in staid calm, with no need for speed, enabling our soul to ascend, by doing daily, one good deed.

a truly mindful creation. I, too, sometimes ask 'Why oh why, are we resistant, to inner light' I love the 4th verse, especially 'no longer by ego cravings toyed.' Ego keeps a hold on us until we decide it shouldn't. Your images and words are powerful with a positive resolution. I'm impressed with how insightful you are and how your convey those insights. Nicely done. Have a pleasant evening, Sar a

Sans thought, in silence, there is no ego or identity. We are, as awareness, the subject but there is no object. So, what happens? Awareness renews itself within itself, as living light. We are that.
