The person I want to be

As part of earth that orbits yonder sun
holding the universe in close embrace,
if breath by breath I could imbibe God’s grace,
divine entwined, slowly coming undone,
recognising truth that we all are one,
no puzzles would remain for me to lace.

Surrendering egoic will at God’s feet,
empowered to shape shift and bilocate,
may being as such be my ordained fate,
suffused with bliss mists that do not deplete,
as a ray of His light, then thus complete,
delighting as seeds of love pollinate.

Such is the yearning of my heart’s desire,
to transmute becoming the cosmic fire.

This is so beautiful and what a wonderful and sacred wish it is, if only many more would find that divine place and let go of ego, this world will be a better place. I especially love the lines “delighting as seeds of love pollinate. Such is the yearning of my heart’s desire, to transmute becoming the cosmic fire.” Beautiful! And heart warming! Best wishes for the contest! Sending you light always
