Notes About The Poem

The Shift Within

The shift within, begins with discernment 
Find now cause of consciousness contraction 
Negating that which dilutes contentment 
Choosing vibrancy of bliss elation

Root cause of suffering is stagnation 
Indulgence in ego borne sediment
Spiralling desires birth agitation
The shift within, begins with discernment 

Fears and desires, two sides of attachment 
Fleeting wisps of smoke; merely illusion
Seek out and destroy, rather than lament 
Find now cause of consciousness contraction 

Tranquil peace found in void of cessation
Magnetism drawing in the bliss current
Path clear; free will choosing resonation
Negating that which dilutes contentment 

Blissful joy is our native element 
Mode: embrace-hold-release, celebration 
Reclaiming pristine self luminescent 
Choosing vibrancy of bliss elation

Deepening stillness in meditation 
Ushers purring bliss without abatement 
Upon resting ego borne suggestion
Assured here and now, is our soul ascent
The shift within
