What Is Real

Myriad thought forms manifest bubbles
That which lower mind calls reality
Yet desire precedes thought, a truth simple

If desire springs from geniality
What arises from love, is elation
Whilst narrow cravings birth turbidity

Gods worlds, epitome of perfection
Contrasted by utter chaos upon earth 
Methinks, ego cause of agitation

Joy to us innate, flowing, bubbling mirth
We seem to have lost track, along our way
Take refuge, oh hermit, in hearts warm hearth

Life after life, we continue to sway
Immersed in illusions, borne of our mind
Life beauteous, yet all we see is grey

Exit from delusion, easy to find
Staring at us in the void of silence
Pristine stillness frees us from ego bind

Born free, forever free, in innocence 
No anchor for rancour or stagnation
In continuum of divine parlance 

Clear light dawns, when thus in meditation 
One with God and with entire creation
