Premium Member Light that lights all lights
“we look for that light eternal 
that does not come and go 
the screen upon which life plays
cognised in staid stillness slow” ~ Unseeking Seeker 

I flow like silken ripples
through mirrored lakes,
a lotus sprouting from
mountain streams,
soaked in the saffron
warmth of summer’s flare,
jeweled in citrine pearls of purity.

Awaiting...

The Law of Spiral Springs
Robert Hooke caused quite a commotion
In the academic ocean
When in spite of his Gown 
With a lady of the Town 
He enjoyed simple harmonic motion

Not before had he seemed so spry
That nobody could deny
He’d a verve and a pep
And a spring in his step
As he...

Premium Member If only you knew
melding with the shifting hues of a scarlet sunset
dissolving ego identity while playing with a child
taking in the breeze wafting through pine trees
invoking grace by making heart soft and mild
relinquishing cravings with nonchalant ease

oh worthy hermit, what is that awareness
innate vibrancy that does not come...

Premium Member Holder of the Flame
Holder of the flame of bliss awareness
Cognised by presence, in tranquil stillness 
Each hue new, although generic code same
God is love; we may give Him any name 
Filling voids within, with joy in fullness

Deluded is thought of separateness 
Empathy births interconnectedness 
We all are one,...

Premium Member Secret Love
Caress of grace sublime, shows on our face,
of peace that surpasses understanding;
a jigsaw puzzle others cannot lace,
our aura both gentle and commanding.
It’s not that we don’t share but few can pair,
with the road map that leads to joyous bliss,
stemming from soul’s inner light, self-aware,
borne by...

Premium Member Defying delineation
We are advised to show, not tell
but if the abstract be real,
to speak of when the ego fell,
requires us not to think but feel.

The light we see, when eye’s single,
may be pointed out to, not shown,
as when polarities mingle,
birthing rapture we alone own.

Silence holds cosmic...

Premium Member Light that lights all lights
Have you ever seen a candle glow,
the one that is whiter than snow.
The special brightness it will show, 
it can light up a room for all to see.

 
“we look for that light eternal 
that does not come and go 
the screen upon which life...

practice makes perfect, so let’s get to it
until we feel each nuance deep within 
soft rhythm taking us to the summit

the table is laid and the lamp is lit
inviting us to silence ego din
practice makes perfect, so let’s get to it

playful forgiving heart and ready...

Premium Member I Reminisce I Miss
I reminisce, I miss

the bliss continuum
when narrow thought
interrupts dynamic stillness 
imagery memory brought
oft in serpentine spirals
rooted in and birthed by ego
being a bubble imaginary
yet intruding rudely
owing to blockages within
still in mind body resident
onto which images anchor
seeking my attention
hoping that I indulge
thereby granting the illusions
new lease...

Line of inquiry:

 “we look for that light eternal 

that does not come and go 

the screen upon which life plays

cognised in staid stillness slow”

 
Oh, Jesus, you are the Light of the world.
A light that lights all other lights, pooled.
The sun’s sparkle or the...

Premium Member Slipping Into Slumber
‘Eat when hungry, sleep when sleepy’, adage,
simple enough, for a child innocent. 
Why then with insomnia, war we wage?
Methinks, due to bubbling thoughts resident,
we stagnate, mired in ego sediment.
As both the prisoner and tormentor,
spectator, as well as the conjurer,
freedom lies by living in the present,
moment...

Premium Member Thought of the Day
Each soul journey is unique ~
Into which no one can peek

We may share but none can pair ~
Save those who are self-aware

Secrets hidden in plain sight ~
Cognised by spherical sight

Breath of God

God’s life force moves through us,
cognised as breath flowing,
enabling mind-body.
Why for then do we dwell 
in egoic thoughts shoddy?

God’s life force moves through us,
yet we feel incomplete,
feeling not bliss rapture,
deafened by thought flow din,
that lowers soul stature.

God’s life force moves through us,
that we...
