Zigzag Route Leads Nowhere


Earth life a jigsaw puzzle, soul navigates
Floundering about in vain
Fickle and fleeting is joy, so heart agitates
Measuring loss and gain

We see all around, perfect divine order
Planets orbiting the sun
Save man, no living creature a hoarder
High time then, we come undone 

Looking back at the zigzag route we took
Delusion cause of our bondage 
Soul not this body, seems we were mistook
Fears and desires, our form ravage

We recognise head and heart at divergence
Misaligned with throb of love
So we stand still, enabling joy convergence 
With God’s will, hand in glove

Layer by layer, our cravings disappear 
We become an empty shell
It is then we feel, bliss magnetism spear
Fulfilled at last, all is well

"All is well. All is well. And all is well." Love your nod to Dame Julian of Norwich. "So we stand still enabling joy convergence with God's will." A great perspective on letting holiness find us. So much to savor in this poem Seeker. As always you challenge us to "seek" new moments of a-ha! Congratulations on your win.

Oh! I confess my ignorance about Dame Julian; must look up her works then … Revelations of Divine Love, Wiki says. Seems she’s inspiring me from the ethereal domain, perhaps? :)
