Trapped In the Maze

To feel alive
We thus jive
First descent
Then ascent
Contraction
Expansion
To feel
The appeal
Of the ride
With God inside

Our being

Foolproof plan
Played with elan
For our lifeline
The divine
Within resident
To which sentient 
While doing nothing
The throb reassuring
So far so good
Well understood

But for stagnating

In our innocence 
Playful parlance 
We never did realise 
That ego does size
Weigh and measure
As our caricature
For its longevity
A fictional identity
Indulging in illusion
Hypnotic delusion

Deaf to bliss elation

Thus we are 
Ego borne scars
Binding
Blinding
Thus we remain
Impure and stained
Bemused
Confused
Until entering silence
Rekindling innocence 

Within

Domain of free will
Turbid or still
It is our choice
To heed inner voice
God not beside
He is inside
So we must go there
Into our heart centre
We are the prisoner 
As also our saviour

As we choose
Without excuse

To be
