 truth imbibed
awaits assimilation
we feel it in our bones
in time dissolved meditation~ Unseeking Seeker 

When the sun sleeps and the stars rise, close your eyes,
for there, within the sailing flickers of time,
you’ll feel the electric warmth of cosmic sighs,
caressing the soul chakra with bliss sublime.

We are silken fragments of engraved moonlight,
manifesting miracles from the truth traced, 
while flames of dreams reignite colors so bright,
tuned in sync with the magnetic beams embraced.

And here, in the halcyon arms of silence,
I thread faith with thoughts of love, erasing fears,
releasing dimmed sparks from rays of resilience,
as truth breathes sweet elixirs from lotus tears.

In the hushed state of roseate reveries,
I hear songs of solace from the seventh sphere,
quenching greyed petals wilting in miseries,
for I am my zen, cloaked in crystals so clear.

Let faith dissolve blurred lines carved within jinxed art, 
follow the softened storms laced with forgiveness,
trust in the sage stillness of the mindful heart,
incensed with peace, veiled in redefined kindness.

O glorious glow of the Almighty’s light,
allow my spirit to bask in the restful
quietude composed in diamond-glazed delight,
embodying luminous lamps, so zestful.

in time dissolved meditation 

Early in the morning, when the world is still not awake,
Shut to external noise and peering into the depths of my mind,
I wish to make an inward journey and true light is all I seek
Leaving all tensions, fears and nagging distractions behind.

 It’s a time when my mind gets liberated from the maze of cares
And the world outside fades completely from view
Filling me with peace, making me heir to all that God shares
With truth slowly unfolding, blazing me with love so true.

As I close my eyes and enter a state of deep meditation, 
I meet my God and commune to Him face to face,
Leading my soul into a state of serene calm and rejuvenation
Which in the noise of life, I can never experience.

Through divine meditation, God speaks to my soul
And as with a shower, parched grounds refresh,
My heart gets refreshed, as God comes to console 
Healing me of all my hurts, making me truly fresh.
.
To what state of bliss, one enters when he sits apart
From all crowd, enjoying God’s love that shall renew,
Listening to the sweet strains of music in his heart,
When light permeates through every bone and sinew.

To that state of inner bliss, Oh Lord, carry me up!
Make my mind merge with the universal spirit,
When all veils of illusion shrouding the mind will be lifted up,
And in me, new fountains of living waters shall erupt.

     Light withdrawn
     Expands again
       approaches dawn
       clucks the hen

    Constellations fade
    Skies o’erspread   
       glory arrayed
       chickens fed

    Rising sun
    Prayers bespake  
      omelets done
      tastebuds awake

There's a sacred sanctuary in my soul,
a secluded realm only God can read.  
I absorb light like the sun's rays of gold,
illuminating my heart when I've the need.

There dwells the truth to the depth of my core.
deeper than the marrow inside my bones. 
A radiance impossible to ignore,
shining brightly when I pray in undertones.

Swiftly, it flows in me when I meditate,
focused on the reason to take my next breath.
My faith is refueled and I contemplate
the irrelevant dread of mortal death.

Embodied light does not dim in the dark.
It's spiritual strength cannot be disputed
God ignites in me the kindling of a spark,
so brilliant so as not to be refuted. 

It can't be called inconsequential or trite.
Enlightenment is found, not with eyes alone
It radiates within us to zenith height
with the magnetic power of a loadstone.

The soul of the area around 
from the shadows that stretch long.
Sings a wishful from the ground
when it sings a melodious song.

The light coming from the shadows 
brightening the area around the bend.
It makes visible in the light of glows, 
then the soul of that earth sings and glows.

The light shines on the tree limbs,
and on the trunk from which they grow.
The light touches the ground on the bend,
is something that is anything but pretend.

The light though soft and honest
hangs from its home from above.
Brings the area a solid promise,
as it feels the surrounding air with love.

in time dissolved meditation 

Like babes we suckle turquoise truth
Growing esteem umbilical cord lines
For love a fuchsia fountain of youth
Preserves souls empowers with divine 

I am no longer settling for carnality 
The light within outgrew human shell
Universe invites me to light dynasty 
Quenching thirst from ethereal well

Welcomed as individuals yet part
Of the galactic rainbow of soul
Embodying the lights of our heart
Creating a beautiful universal halo

A hidden flame reveals its light,
Truth, imbibed in quiet fire.
It whispers in the dead of night,
Our bones do tremble with such fire.

This truth awaits assimilation,
In dreams, we taste revelation.
Our souls are bound to meditation,
In time-dissolved meditation.

Our minds adrift in dark despair,
Old echoes stir in silent gloom.
We wander, lost without repair,
As midnight drapes the rose in bloom.

Yet hope emerges through the pain,
A phantom grace adorns our sight.
In sorrow's depths, we break the chain,
Embodying the light so bright.

                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It lies so wisely in silence—a truth as vast as the sky,
Heart bonds are loud, and time is where secrets fly.
Another guidance from the soul is to meditate,
The benthic abyss of existence—may not captivate.

In the timeless Prometheus, ketamine never ends,
Words assail when sacrilegious with a weight of trends. 
Wrapped by laceration, shadows murmur the truth,
We weave hedonistic worlds, crafted with airy youth. 

No signs or manuals molded on musty scrolls,
But a heartbeat harmonious hum—echoing halls. 
It mutters in muted times louder than any voice,
A celestial cadence that connects us in cool poise.

Meditation serves as a serenata for truth gems,
Sorting through shadows—to watch which hems.
In silence, we design stories woven from threads,
Into our depths, where gossamer rule treads.

In the mirror of prayer, truth makes its colors clear,
Every stroke is an enlightenment that destroys fear. 
It's deemed with every heart, gavotte, and breath,
Until skills emerge from life's mellifluous wreath.

We do not grasp truth, but we acquire it with grace,
A rhapsody careens that falls into place. 
It is a layer of us, shaped by the hand of time, 
An idiosyncratic memorial in this changing grime.

As children of the Light of the World
We're like bright sun for others, we shine
We’re made to share the truth of His words
Guided by His wisdom, so divine.

Holy Spirit dwells and empowers
At fervor prayers and meditation
We feel God’s presence and power
Spiritual breakthrough to acclamation.
 
Letting His light sit in our heart’s throne
No darkness but courage amidst the storms
And be physically sound down the bone
When spiritual health brightens and reforms.

Light is a linear beam of photons
particles streaming from there to here
emanating from an emitter's ions
inflamed by energy's cheer.

A golden glow at dawn imbibes
the world with enlightened grace,
christening the dark matter with vibes
that the light begins to trace.

For light itself has no body
It's an ether, a will o' the wisp
seeking to seep within and embody
a glow of reflection, bright and crisp.

Objects enlightened, cast a shadow
A reminder of the eternal darkness
that befalls all who lie beyond the glow
or beyond time, and fate's starkness.

                     Quote by Unseeking Seeker
 

Merging, blending, assimilating life's truth,
fusing it into my spirit, absorbing;
this the way of my inner mind in mused youth,
that thinking like brittle bones decomposing.

And then, I found pondering meditation,
falling into a profound reverie trance;
in sleeplike states finding my re-creation,
oh, it was a swaying, divine, sublime dance.

My thinking began to scatter and detach,
I needed to find my glowing inner light;
and in contemplation came a light unmatched,
I soak it up ... drinking this beautiful sight.

“Truth lies within oneself and not outside.” the author.
**************************************************************
   
                                         Embodying the Light

                           Truth lies within oneself and not outside,
                              Embodying the light that is sublime
                           And in one`s life ever serves as a guide,
                               As a particle of light that`s divine.

                            Eternal truth needs first to be imbibed,
                                Possibly under masterly guidance
                               Before it`s internally circumscribed
                         And ushers in one`s life shine of brilliance;

                           Resting on the inner crest of the bones,
                              Truth waits for stage of assimilation
                               In the corridors of the brainy zone
                                Afore it dispels glooms of illusion.

                               Once internalised by the inner self
                         The glow of truth brightens day after day
                             With deep meditation within oneself
                      And steers one`s path along the proper way;

                Such truth transcends the bounds of space and time
                     Redounds on those who come within its view
                   Spreads afar the the blessings of its bright shine
                           And for ever and ever sounds as new;

                        Like a bacon light that guides ships ashore,
                          Truth drives men to their rightful destiny
                            And leads them the inner self to adore
                                   Until the dead end of eternity.

Man's Advocate, Christ, returned to heaven's gates
yet, earth's need for Light remained paramount.
God had planned remedy which illuminates
man's body and soul from within like a fount.

Thus dwells seeds of truth in all those who embrace
God's Spirit, causing man's spirit to be stirred.
Light makes Himself known and His raw truth we taste,
digested daily from the truth in God's Word.

With prayer, conscience matures and converys
nourishment for a new diet of service.
Reproof brings discipline when our spirit strays
feasting with him who vainly tries to swerve us.

Wisdom absorbed into its mind, soul and frame,
our being can bring glory to our Maker;
with thoughts, words, deeds that proclaim His holy name -
three-fold - Creator, Savior and Caretaker.

For its worth in forgiveness and redemption,
our faith is sustained to the endpoint of sight
when we join our Christ at the doors of heaven
hearing, "Well done, you've broadcasted My Light."

Embodying the Light

Lone 'neath the weeping willow dark, 
The lies we spoke, in whispers sown, 
Scarred the blackened bark,
That all may see and groan. 

Begot in shade the woe and pains, 
That climb and twist through iron roots, 
Forming our bondage chains
Of deadly dark disputes. 

Speak! Speak! Cried the girls and boys, 
In weeping mud, and wailing rain.
Alas there was no noise,
In the darkness: deaf and vain. 

Yet hear the bell’s cheer!
Revealed in the warm sun,
A spectacle all shall hear, 
When the light has won. 

Love! Love! Sang the children and men,
Through breathing grass, in dancing glades.
Love! Love! Piped the doves and wrens,
In the light: where truth is made.

So echo the love and joy of light, 
Sing the hymns of peace it shines,
Lest all, in truth, rise to fight,
For Light, the visage most divine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the forest’s trees, though asleep, at twilight
they silently seek the stars who softly weep
glorious oaks with their gentle leaves so bright
laugh and tell tales of the mountains so steep

in the forest I glimpse a fanciful tune
written by the moss, the pines and the stones
hesitant winds lift the birds as they croon
against lazy shadows the river condones

at the edge of the world, where the pines sigh
there is a wonder unheard – still that abides
flying through the night, across a black sky
glad to know the grace that only love provides

midst the wildflowers, dancing in the fields
grows a melody so clear it cheers the soul
autumn’s breath defies the shower who yields
gifting forest’s captive with certain parole

in the light of still, unmoving musings
soars the ancient belief of those lost in praise
when the night falls, hearts collect their losings
glowing on the night is love that never strays
