Spherical sight

Fade away, oh tempests of thought 
How shallow is the content you hold
We strain under weight of your refrain
And tire of nebulous concepts retold

If you would be our friend, then ascend
Reflecting light, radiating bliss delight
To which end, in the cave of heart bend
Beholding God in all, with spherical sight

Let thoughts that tempt, simply fade away. Contentment isn't based on sharing shallow ideas, or feeling the heavy weight of words. Happiness is found: in a heart that is filled with truth, delight, and especially; His light. Congratulations Unseeking Seeker, on Poem of the Day. Many wonderful blessings to you. ~ Brandy

Seeker, how beautiful a verse that says so much in two stanzas! Congratulations on your POTD honor! So happy for you! There is so much wisdom in every line. I especially like the first stanza and "nebulous concepts retold" old thoughts, with an attempt to spin them into something new and attractive, are still "nebulous concepts retold!" I love the simplicity of this poem so imbued with your wisdom. Sending you blessings.

All we need do is see how corrupt redundancy of oppressive thoughts entrap us in their hateful self-destructive bonds. If only we could allow the pure light love and decency shine through. If not, all will be lost. Congratulations on POTD! Well written. So true. Robert

Yes, indeed. The aim of the game is to befriend silence, whereupon ego recedes and we become heart centric, the way we were born, complete and perfect.

Congratulations on POTD Unseeking Seeker! A philosopher whose insights are most welcome daily. How shallow our thoughts can be, yes poetry that leaves me pondering. Like your name entails, we have answers in the spirit within, we're constantly seeking that which is right before our eyes. Enjoy your day~I Am Anaya

A very deep and insightful piece this is! "We strain under weight of your refrain/And tire of nebulous concepts retold" That took me somewhere very deep. Those rhymes and alliterations are brilliantly crafted as well.. "Beholding God in all, with spherical sight" Wow.. Impeccable!!
