Truth as it appears

On waking from sleep,
before thought forms leap,
we in all fairness,
are pure awareness.

Alive and able
but with no label,
we are as we are,
a luminous star.

Remaining thus we
mirrorlessly see
with our inner sight,
that we’re living light.

Then looking at form,
manifests a storm
related to fear
of body held dear.

Putting thoughts on pause,
we discern the cause
of meanings assigned,
from truth misaligned.

To find truth that transcends mind, we must leave thoughts behind.

“We are our inner sight” wow this one is so deep and ethereal, I absolutely love the cadence of this and what you’ve conveyed here is so lyrically profound.” Putting thoughts on pause, we discern the cause” How creative is that! I am in awe. A fave for me
