Notes About The Poem


Turiya

the human experience 
defined by three states
waking, dreaming, deep sleep
compels us to navigate
nuances of each realm

hemmed in my our mind
enslaved by senses five
pristine soul yearns for freedom
but captive to hypnosis
demonised by darkness

ego entity here manifest
is merely a thought form
yet has hijacked soul’s attention
enmeshing us in illusions
of dark fears and desires

the fluid matrix taunts us
a Frankenstein we birthed
yet in vibrant silence we are free
sans thought we’re awake
in all three states of being

awareness dehypnotised 
wherein we are unfettered
innate aliveness termed as Turiya
recognised by full freedom
is the light of our true Self
