Bliss bubbles speak to us and heart understands,
forging with God’s creation a loving bond,
treading mindfully, as consciousness expands,
emotes of love being the way we respond.
The light of Self within is where we’re centred,
portal to heaven through which our soul entered,
wherein fixated remains our firm focus,
frolicking thus with joy, along love’s locus.
Joy, a fairy tale but was not always so,
in days when we believed we are body-mind
and since the truth of our Self we did not know,
we regret wasted days from love misaligned.
In our yesteryears, we nurtured lust and rage,
our thoughts narrow, easily taking umbrage,
ignorance our fault line, which we didn’t dispel,
being captive to our wayward ego’s spell.
Heart contraction, a clear signal
Misalignment from source
Time now to make complex simple
Erasing thought forms coarse
Abide with quietude
With stoic fortitude
Vibrant in solitude
Agitation
Heart contraction

Quietus
Body aches; we pop in a painkiller
Yet how may we calm fears of fickle mind
Whilst unrequited love, a soul sinker
Spiralling heart yearning’s remorseless bind
Then there is this longing for God connect
That we may become one with love and light
Fallen from grace, we wish to stand erect
Seeking solace from sorrow, day and night
Upon cessation of fears and desires
Our emptiness feels a pull magnetic
Signalling that our heart is yet afire
To heighten and deepen, bliss ecstatic
Aliveness, sentience to cyclic pulse
Waves of joy and pain, attract and repulse

I remember the sheer elation,
just like it was yesterday
Forty years tears of joy removed ...
Thirty months, same feeling safely deposited
Twenty weeks marked a memory pulse acceleration
Ten days of jubilation thoughts from bald to grey,
felt like five hourglass Palm turns
on a dawn, Easter Sunday
Zero minute ticks in the mind,
completes the heart contraction of time ...
I celebrate not a wasted second
four year kid wonders
his own body’s contraction
mother’s thin belly
