Soul View
‘Show me God’, said the atheist
‘Here, in the now’, he did insist
‘Else admit, randomness of fate’
Taking the gauntlet, here’s the gist
Desires entice, we take the bait
It’s a rat race, so who’ll wait
Bemused, we ask not, who we are
Far cry it seems, is heaven’s gate
Looking back at life, lived so far
With fears and desires, we did spar
Joy and suffering, both fleeting
Permanent joy, too high a bar
We see form debilitating
Life fleeting and time’s a wasting
So resting thought, enter silence
Exhausted of thus oscillating
Arousing inner sentience
Rekindling innate innocence
We’re charged with bliss throbs in fullness
Revealing soul’s luminescence
One with oneness, in blissfulness
In continuum of stillness
Ego shorn, we become twice born
Transmuted is our awareness
Hark in our heart, the soundless horn
God in-dwells form that we adorn
God alone is, love His essence
Truth’s tong, plucks out ignorance thorn
