Cognisant Poems | Examples

Light of Self

As
we drift
from focus
to the trance state,
witness consciousness 
which we may call the Self,
always poised in the vast void,
remans detached yet cognisant
of all the comings and goings here,
in but not of each thought and sensation.

No doubt the gunas three twirl us around
but by resting in time dissolved calm,
light of Self becomes manifest
through tranquil meditation 
as softened attention
erases space-time,
our eye single,
commingles
with God’s 
light.

Ways of providence

There will surely be a guide ~
charting my path,
protecting, 
and leading me
to my destined destination in life. 
As if it were a promised payment
God made to me from heaven.

A visible hand
tucked out from an invisible tucker,
In a canoe on a river ~ 
gently rowing me along its flow.

Many near-deaths averted,
Many of life's debts miraculously paid,
many stale breaths,
yet never for a moment ceased.
All threats to my existence –
God canceled them,
sometimes with my sweat,
other times with just a little fret.

Yet still, I never got my feet wet or smelly,
even when I trudged through the sludge
left behind by life's avarice;
not a faint trace of the caprice 
that clouds my destined destination. 

There has to be only one explanation ~
providence,
not merely serendipity,
For I can see the hands of the I Am That I Am,
whispering their ubiquity,
through a tiny voice –
often feeble, yet ably affable,
I am cognisant of its presence,
especially when I disobey its warnings.
All these are never through kismet or fortuity ~
they are simply the ways of providence.
Case closed.

Thought of the day

Our shape shifting soul indulges in dreams
though it has no cause, being bliss replete,
so as we are washed away in thought streams,
distanced from source, we then feel incomplete,
until we choose to bend low at God’s feet.
At all times cognisant of our soul’s light,
we stand erect; a luminous star bright.

Monk mode

Cognisant of but yet nonchalant to
events that would have upset us before,
we witness this dream as life does renew,
without feeling drawn to keep any score,
for we’re empty though vibrant at our core, 
recognising life flows on by itself,
with all that matters being light of Self.

IN VULNERABLE STATE-

Vulnerable
endangered unprotected
exsposed, unsafe, in peril
well protected resilient immune to
ungauarded prey susceptible
opened attacked
Invulnerable

THESE THOSE SPOKEN WORDS-

Mine boggled journey through the letters
Voices in my mind I hear I heard, reciting revealing words
Radiant verses, some words misspoken are curses
Humanity prime objectives numeral story tellers
Social modern time twenty-first century verses

I know longer write alone
There’s a greater power to be shown
One publisher, Elohim Jehovah
Purposeful will story teller

no dot, nor tittle
Not a unsolved riddle
There’s a greater power to be shown
I know longer write alone

There's a master crafter, a grander poet
A one whom creator of all words
He spoke the first words so stoic
Let there be light
And that point all was right

Following the heart of my Father

As I appreciate His taste,
Liken of lavender and honey cone;
Welcoming

Zen mode

as soma nectar gently drips
enlivening toroidal heart 
awareness becomes cognisant
of how bliss ignition does start

Jolted by twilight

As the sun slowly sets for the full moon to rise
The soft hue of twilight projects purple on the skies
The air softly stilled to silenced melodies
As I sit all alone in the copse of the trees
Entangled thoughts unravelling bidding to take flight
Cognisant memories gently jolted by twilight 

Reflection on a half life lived, full in all acclaim
The remnants and the dreams are gone, but do not feel of shame
The sadness that's enveloping
Will galvanise plans developing 
Igniting motivation and theories of contrite
New inspiration seeded; jolted by twilight

Zen mode

as we thin out ego
by befriending silence 
we become vividly cognisant
of the energy grid within
being breath of God

poised in the void
ego that never was dies
revealing Self that was and is
our true being splendrous
radiating love and light

Zen mode

as heartbeats physical and ethereal align
we feel vividly unified reverberations within
from root to crown along our central vein
humming, throbbing, drumming with power
soundless rumbling thunder so pulsating
God’s vital life force of which are cognisant

Zen mode

wherefrom all that arises being ever present
Is intimately known in the void of cessation
humming in the background with potent power
as singularity consciousness self-aware
witnessing the realm of contrast in duality
of which bilocating consciousness is cognisant
being what we are when we are attentive 
in a continuum of time stretched mindfulness
