Heart contractions, a wake up call Moments when we fail to stand tall It almost seems we’re in a dream Blockaded by a mere thought wall Fears and desires, that inwards stream Hollow, shallow, ego spawned scheme Void-centric joyous soul’s immune To imagined fears, that so beam When with pulse of love we’re in tune To throbs of bliss our heart does swoon Outcomes any, we are tranquil Radiant thus like yonder moon Healed by God’s light, voids within fill Feel soma nectar overspill Mind-body’s but an instrument In surrender to divine will Whenever we be discontent Insentient to bliss current Know that ego’s up to it’s tricks Blocking soul’s light effervescent 01-April-2022

Unseeking Seeker, I enjoyed this poem. I particularly liked "Radiant this like yonder moon." That phrase captured my attention. Good stuff.
