Spherical wisdom

take any attribute of body-mind
discern its support, abode and essence
whence if we go deep enough, we will find
God’s presence in us as its quintessence

interconnected is all existence
wherein we too are a part of the whole
there never is from God any distance
irrespective of our ordained life role

to be as mindful as we are able
in stillness our vision pierces the veil
steadying resolve, flame of heart stable
one with oneness, in the void we set sail

breaking free from the cage of space and time ~
all that that then remains is bliss beat’s chime

Dear US, a profound and beautifully expressed poem. I was especially struck by “in stillness our vision pierces the veil” - a deep and meaningful piece. Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan

Thanks Susan. Yes, we literally pierce the veil of illusion and obtain clear sight.
