Transcendence

Caged in space, bound by time, grounded by gravity, encased in feeble form, as a plaything of fate, soul succumbs to life’s storm. Caged in space, bound by time, spirit within yet soars, so pausing in the void, on befriending silence, we’re not by fears decoyed. Caged in space, bound by time, a shift from head to heart, sets free our soul within, viewing life as a dream, as God’s child, free from sin. Caged in space, bound by time, our consciousness expands, in but not of the world, light of Self pulsating and flag of love unfurled.

Dear seeker as always a soulful write this is. I love the line “ and flag of love unfurled.” I love the flow of this and your chosen refrain, I’ve been looking at this form too to try, do we have to only rhyme line three and five? Trying to learn. You do so many forms in such eloquence, pleasure reading this

Yes, only line 3 & 5 need to rhyme, first line repeats as refrain, syllable count 6/line.
