The Reflected Universe

“This life is but a dream play, yet we do here stream
In self centred thoughts sway, not playing as a team”

*****************************************

We need not flounder about here, searching for joy
Being both the subject and object of our search
Doing nothing save negating our ego ploys
Divine love dove on our upper branches does perch

From our heart springs desire and from desire all thought
Potent power manifestation causation
Creating a dream world, we ourselves have here brought 
Both joy and sorrow, being our sole creation

Nonchalant and pure of heart, seeking no new toys
Innate awareness merges subject and object 
Thus innocent once again, as is a small boy
In the light of love bliss, we stand again erect

No longer in delusion or with dark fears fraught
We are unshackled from all bondage ego borne 
Recognizing life as but a dream, thought begot
Vibrant in bliss, we are at each moment reborn

We need not flounder about here, searching of joy 
From our heart springs desire and from desire all thought 
Nonchalant and pure of heart, seeking no new toys 
No longer in delusion or with dark fears fraught
