Self-Existent Light
The luminous spectrum of the omnipresent light
envelopes my self-obsessed essence unperceived.
I devise the free-will precepts captivating the ego
within the confines of the conjured self-deception.
As I saunter on the slimy slush of cardinal sin,
the stigma of murky derision debases the self,
the soul is stifled by the secret corrupt clutch,
in penance I feel the pernicious pangs of pain.
I escape liberated from the dark abyss of anguish,
traverse through strata of solemn consciousness.
That’s when the door of the inner sanctum opens,
where the lotus blooms suffused with divine glow.
The sensual space within shines with stellar radiance,
and flashes with the flaring brilliance of billion suns.
On my self-searching odyssey at the edge of eternity,
the inner galaxy makes my soul the self-existent light.
