Unseeking Seeker Poet Sonnet

Trust and Betrayal

" ...betrayal begins with trust."
                  ~ Quote_ Phish  


Our trust presupposes expectation,
based on a script, being but delusion,
which is the root cause of our frustration;
betrayal plunging mind in confusion.

Love that’s true seeks no reciprocation 
and so the fault line is egoic longing,
which over time becomes our fixation;
seeking somehow a sense of belonging.

If we accept all beings as they are,
recognising we’re but actors on stage,
we’ll always shine like a luminous star,
radiating bliss like a tranquil sage.

Let not betrayal, diminish souls light ~
May we effuse love by day and by night
