the direct path

ephemeral are objects heart desires
fleeting is joy and lingering is pain
cause of suffering is seeking outcomes
ignorance is our sin, desire the chain

simply recognising that body-mind
is an earth vehicle, an interface
which we as eternal presence ensoul
by God’s grace, steps towards truth we retrace

everything in this realm is polarised
enabling movement in space, clocked by time
yet do not both these fetters disappear 
whence drenched with rapture betwixt bliss beats chime

God speaks to us as whispers in the void 
His language is love, as conscience cajoles
befriending silence, clear light within dawns
when ego recedes, soul re-writes life’s goals

simply by melding our head with the heart
inner conflict ends and we stand erect
pheromones mingle, our eye’s then single
no longer on shores of darkness shipwrecked

upon choosing to dwell in cessation 
divine magnetism pervades feeble form 
we become that we had set out to seek
transmuted thus in love’s benign bliss storm
