Ensouling Poems | Examples

Why are we bound

As a child of God, we have His power
commingled with divine love, light and bliss 
but since we know not, in fear we cower,
sinking deeper into desire’s abyss,
though our heart tells us something is amiss.
Recognising we are not body-mind,
we then play our life role as God assigned
as spirit ensouling organic form,
transmitting vibrations loving and kind, 
with our eye mindful, touch tender and warm.

I am

“As God’s spark ensouling organic form, I am that presence which cannot be named,
felt within as a magnetic bliss storm, divine pulsation that cannot be tamed,
gentled by His touch, within body framed.
I am that which transcends both space & time. I am love & light, causing heart to chime.”

                              I   AM   GOD'S   SPARK 

A windswept soul cognitive only to the One who clips the stars of heaven 
this I am 
An enlightened being spiritually awakened by the interconnectedness of all living things 
this I am 
Dwelling in a place filled with heightened sense of presence, I am peaceful 
as the Great I Am 
Ablaze like an Olympian Flame I pass life's torch to you with internal conviction  
and this is my reveal of who I truly am    
I am a woman made of man a mystery onto thyself, I live, breathe and love 
 and therefore yes, ... I am !!!

Transmutation

Ensouling this form of dust, thrust of lust
rose from deep within our deluded heart,
feeding feral instincts and deeds unjust,
which were exhumed on adding love to cart,
whence we deemed all souls one and none apart.
The false dropped away; we became God’s light,
pulsating with bliss by day and by night.

Zen mode

as living light ensouling organic dust
ego instrumentalised, our mind is wise
discarding lust, each emote loving and just
the false sense of identity in heart dies
purified heart, beholds God’s presence august
paving the way for our soul on earth to rise
vibrant emptiness drenched with bliss in fullness 
paves the way breath by breath, for our soul’s wellness

Thought of the day

ensouling form shaped from earth’s crust
the entity fuelled fires of lust
day by day deepened delusion
lost in dungeons of deeds unjust

I Am

Serenading heart, I anoint my soul,
by applying vermilion of pure bliss,
being God’s elixir scriptures extol,
felt within form as Divine Mother’s kiss.

Invoking sounds of silence, I am still,
imbibing gently, offerings of grace,
sipping soma nectar, as it does spill,
beholding love hold love, in close embrace.

Recognising light of Self, which I Am,
I embody this knowing in my heart,
having exhumed fear and desire logjam,
with each breath I feel bliss ignition start.

I Am God’s breath ensouling body mind ~
I Am That of which there’s no other kind

The sin syndrome

Sin is but ignorance, so let’s erase it,
by examining where lies the root of thought
that lamp of eternal truth be in us lit.
Fear mirrors desire, a web in which we’re caught,
so if we reduce attachments bit by bit,
heart’s emptiness draws in God’s grace, which soul sought.
We are a soul, ensouling mind-body shell
and once this knowing is clear, all will be well.

Our spirit too is made in likeness of God
and as such all wayward acts are by ego,
which recedes when we choose to give love a nod,
releasing lower mind, choosing to forgo 
all that that comes and goes, whence by bliss light awed,
the false falls away and truth of Self we know.
Reworded we may say when there’s no one here,
light of our true being, will in us appear.

How May We Wake Up

Repeated reincarnations reveal,
that on ensouling a new body-mind,
the truth of agape love, we cease to feel
and as we flounder about on earth blind,
we are caught in ego’s relentless bind.
Recognising this fact, how should we act,
since we are no longer by wisdom backed?
The optimal path is thought cessation,
requiring simply we cease to react,
nonchalant to outcomes and sensation.

All answers are within, so let’s begin
by becoming a witness to ourself,
in the flow of life, choosing to plug-in
but having no agenda in our shelf,
watching how fate pans out all by itself.
We’re not suggesting a phlegmatic stance
nor ceasing striving, leaving all to chance,
yet being still, in timeless time we learn
of how nodes within us joyfully prance,
as in fire of bliss, we willingly burn.

When We Be Awake

when ego is not
then thought too is not
and with lower mind at rest
subterfuge and camouflage are passé 
‘tis when essence of pristine presence emerges
finally ensouling form in active awareness 
whilst ego now serving soul as is ought
opposites having dissolved we rise
breath by breath oozing love

Zen Mode

eureka moment
space flickers
a petal opens
a tumbler falls
the veil is pierced
but there’s no witness
except pristine awareness 
ensouling that earth vessel
and of course, God Himself

One Light

Now that we know we’re living light
Ensouling this decaying form
Why for do we yet crouch in fright
Oblivious to bliss mists warm

Our life span is short, why waste it
Now that we know we’re living light
Once the lamp of God's love is lit
We dwell in throes of bliss delight

In rapture thus by day and night
Ego recedes; head-heart align
Now that we know we’re living light
Each breath to God’s will we resign

Gentling touch, as we come undone
God’s grace bestows spherical sight
Clear truth dawns that we all are one
Now that we know we’re living light

Zen Mode

we be to become
the cosmic drum's hum
behind the screen of space-time
one with the absolute pulse sublime
then descend from God's heaven
feeling contrast on earth haven
ensouling this feeble form
with bliss currents warm

learning thus to rotate polarity
we are both in oneness and duality
aided by bliss pulsations that remind
to be still and free from desires that bind
resident in, within but not of the world
 wondrous as flag of love's unfurled
caressing us my day and night
rapture of unbound delight

Ashtavakra Gita Verse 20:1

20.1
“Where are the elements, 
the body, the organs, the mind?
Where is the void?
Where is despair?
My nature is transparent clearness”

Verse revisited on 19-July-2022

Such is God’s power we wield 
That space and time, both yield
Awareness poised at the epicentre 
Wherefrom all manifestations canter

Tranquil stillness before breath inhalation
Rippleless lake of soul’s blissful elation 
Devoid of any trace of egoic residue 
Is pulse of truth that does renew

Duality emanation of singularity 
Is the inner knowing in deep clarity
Recognising that the world’s a stage
There thus no cause for desires to rage

Ensouling feeble form, experience by touch
Letting go of concepts and belief crutch
Embrace and release, each sensation
One with oneness and all creation

The Phoenix Rises

Given that we’re soul eternal,
Ensouling form for a sojourn,
Bemused by objects external,
In dungeons of ego we burn.

Ensouling form for a sojourn,
Soul’s light is veiled by dark desire;
In dungeons of ego we burn,
Remaining thus, until we tire.

Soul’s light is veiled by dark desire.
We flounder about in despair,
Remaining thus, until we tire,
With love divine, choosing to pair.

We flounder about in despair,
Knowing not our true origin,
With love divine, choosing to pair;
Heart yet beats with bliss pulse virgin.

Knowing not our true origin,
Bemused by objects external,
Heart yet beats with bliss pulse virgin,
Given that we’re soul eternal.

Ensouling mind-body, why aren’t we awed ~ 
What’s our aliveness, save a gift from God
