Notes About The Poem

the human condition

“what is this strange place we find ourself in ~
we’re trapped in the open and free within”
            ~ quote by poet


dream characters which we create
assume an independent role
call it amnesia or just fate
each entity pursues a goal 

this is the divine paradox
the simple truth mind cannot reach
till by unlearning we detox
and veil of forgetting thus breach

our state of hypnosis is deep
we’re both the dreamer and the dreamed
so to take a consciousness leap
we must slow down thoughts by mind streamed

just as a snake sheds off its skin
or an eagle regrows its claws
let’s do likewise, go in, go in
poised in prayer till our heart thaws

sans thought flow, wayward ego dies
just know this: ego will resist
just as Dracula fears sunrise
ego’s wary of love’s bliss mist

for brave hearts who choose to be still
feeling in form bliss sensation
in timeless time voids within fill
they transform as God’s vibration
