The Journey Within

 “To behold God’s face nothing need be done ~
He dwells in our heart; God and we are one”
            ~ quote by poet


beyond labels and forms, to find out who we are
in as the screen of consciousness itself
tool of inquiry being awareness
animated by the heart
      ~ we paused the flow of time

frame of life flow frozen, focus poised in the void
motionless in silence at the heart centre
resting thus in our native element 
as awareness self-aware
      ~ we were suffused with cool heat

grazed by divine magnetism, touched by grace
wisdom of the ancients then became ours
dance of polarities, soundless thunder
ignition renewal within continual 
      ~ set our luminous aura aflame

unfed ego thinned out and dropped off one day
whence the manifest universe disappeared
placing us in a zone beyond space-time
where we saw who we truly are
      ~ made in God’s image, eternal living light
