When our eye is single

Given that God alone is the all there is
and all manifestations are but a dream,
to find out who we are is then not a quiz,
for as we are bathed in light of love’s moonbeam,
from our heart bursts forth, a thunderous bliss fizz,
whence we see this world is not as it does seem.
When our eye is single, we are full of light,
commingled with bliss mists ushering delight.

What a deep and profound write as always this is dear seeker! I love especially loves moonbeam line and how youve mentioned about the world, sometimes yes we need to create our own bliss from light within when all that we see is but a dream that isnt real. Your poems have such an eloquent touch that reminds me of ancient famous poets! And it always is such a pleasure seeing them featured. Congratulations dear seeker! Sending you light always. I hope i did interpret your poem right, your words can be studied from many angles!

Thank you, IE dear. We do not have to create the light since we already are the eternal light but know this not, until we see directly in meditation.

Dear US, Congrats on POTW which is filled with spiritual clarity and gentle wisdom. I feel the peace and wonder in your words in the sense of unity, the “thunderous bliss fizz,” and the luminous beauty of seeing with a single, loving eye. Yes, we all have a deeper light within us all. Your poetry is a soft lantern for the soul, and I’m grateful for your friendship and insight. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Thank you, Karen. If inclined, do read ‘The Holy Science’ by Swami Yukteswar Giri. The opening lines of the book affirm that God alone is the one and only ‘true substance’ in the universe. You can download this book for free from archive.org or any other site ~ it is not copyright.

Ours is not to wonder why, Seeker. Ours is not to pry into the inner workings of the site... algorithm theory believed or not... mostly not. ;-)
