Too Far Gone
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.
