Too far gone it seems, heart's deluded dreams, distanced from the truth, caged in ego's booth. The rot's sunk in deep, fears and desires seep, as a dark spiral, that has gone viral. Remedies we seek only make us weak, as our goalposts shift, leaving us adrift. We must understand, the key's in our hand, for we alone choose, fragrance of our muse. Moments of true joy were sans ego ploy, when we then did flow, vibrant and aglow. Stagnation the cause, which if put on pause, enables release from thinking disease. Relinquish belief and get some relief, looking at each hue, once again anew. Simply being still, surrendering will, our form's magnetised; God thus realised. We're not mind-body or a somebody but are living light, to learn love's delight. Once our heart knows this, we're suffused with bliss, as God's true essence ~ self-luminescence. 05-July-2022 Pick-A-Title, Vol 31 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh

"We'r not mind-body or a somebody but are living light, to learn love's delight"..... Proverbial words . If we never allow our wordly aspirations too far gone, we will be able to be illumined by the living light ! Beautiful poem. Congratulations on your win, dear friend !

I find your words speak to the human spirit and soul, Unseeking. I had to look up the jeuju form as I'd never heard of it before and was amazed to find that it's a Chinese quatrain that dates back possibly to the Tang Dynasty. I'm forever learning at Poetry Soup. Cheers - Gary

I was introduced to this form by Constance ~ one of her contests required it. I’ve kind of taken to it, compact and succinct.

In fact there is no separation from God, other than our imagined, deluded belief
