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 05-December-2021 ''Z'' Contest, New or Old - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

"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? :)
