Looking toward skies, feet on ground Fears and desires, twirl us around Although soul seeks God’s love and light Patterns of habit, hold us bound Scriptures speak of spherical sight Bliss in permanence, day and night Ours for asking, if our thoughts die Ego death contracts heart in fright Clinging to life’s the reason why We attempt not to wingless fly How may we dissolve in the stream Fear of unknown, makes our heart sigh We’re told that this life but a dream Within us in-dwells God supreme Die to be reborn is the clue Counsel unheeded, since fears scream Within our form, flows life force dew Bliss nectar; truth known to but few Cognised in stillness, if heart pure Melding therein, blessings accrue Ego warns ‘how can we be sure?’ Thus trauma bonding, pain endure In dark dungeons of delusion Even though conscience does censure Brave souls who exit illusion Put an end to all confusion Fusing head with heart, love aligned Bringing about divine fusion Playing life role, in as assigned In timeless time, clear truth’s divined That ego shorn, we are twice born Free from transient attachment’s bind Hark oh hermit, to God’s love horn Too long in darkness, we’ve lived on Time’s now to see God face to face Let Christ consciousness, soul adorn 01-February-2022 Syllables: PS, rhymezone Pick-A-Title, Vol 28 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
