Paul Marc Poet Shape

Spiritual Birth

grace will find you
when thoughts fade away
crushed with unbearable grief
"losing your mind"

suffering during a dark night of the soul
the ego crumbles; revealing the light
your soul consciousness
"finding yourself"

directly experiencing the divine sense of oneness
where everything is connected at a deeper level
there is but one consciousness appearing as many
"awakened"

breathless views are available with inner focus
crossing a chasm with one final leap of faith
you become blissful; radiating like the sun
"experiencing enlightenment"

revived with a new perspective
humans are never perfect
but our pure being is
"love"

Greg Gaul January 23, 2019 at 8:09 AM Buddhists call it rebirth, not reincarnation. You reveal yourself. Clearly you are on the noble path. Few are. I'll have to look further to see how it enhances your poetic voice which I already know is strong. Congratulations on your placement. You have cracked open your Buddhaself.

Carolyn Devonshire January 22, 2019 at 1:36 PM You wrote beautifully of the rebirth of love during times of spiritual challenges, P.M. And I have experienced this transition many times. We fall, only to elevate once more and overcome. Congratulations on your win in Chantelle's contest! Best wishes, Carolyn
