What Is Real

out of the frying pan, we plunge into the fire
succumbing thus to ego spawned desire
ephemeral objects, our ego aspires

where are we headed, oh hermit
our deluded cravings have no merit
fallen from grace, head and heart split

bewildered we are, amidst myriad external illusions
blown away like a leaf, is our fickle attention
clear light dawning in void of cessation

that that comes and goes unreal
save throb of bliss nothing has appeal
fire of bliss in our heart, purges and heals

nonchalant soul presence, pure and unstained
vaporising lower mind, divine joy ingrains
unaffected by worldly loss or gain

deluded ego in separateness 
slowly cognises interconnectedness 
transcending finally to absolute oneness

earth life then thus a journey without movement 
discontentment transmuting to contentment 
culminating in blissful love enablement
