‘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 17-November-2021 Soul poetry contest Sponsor: Robert James Liguori

Beautifully written Rubaiyat Seeker. I enjoy your refection on your path towards enlightenment. I identify with your experiences during meditation. The feelings of completeness and unity with the universe. It is transendant. A poet friend, Bill

I like the rhythm of the interlocking Rubaiyat form, so I’ve started dabbling with it a bit now and then
