"a heartbeat pulsating as living light
free from each and every limitation
I Am that dwelling in unbound delight
the source wherefrom arises creation"
I study the void
conclude it is light it craves
become lost within my calculations
dimensions unspurl
spirals catastrophise
until
spinning
cancels
itself out
and I am still
within my stillness I seek
seeing no ground
having no anchor
it is me that craves
I fear I am the void
should I internalise the vortex
walk the line dizzy
with hand unheld
gamble on transformation
to the entirety of light
see myself
reflected on the outer edges
not through another lens
let the doppelganger
drop away
what if that
“Ceasing to sway, get out of your own way ~
That love and light bursts forth, like a sun ray”
~ quote, by poet
____________________________
Believing ourselves to be mind-body,
we pursue objects of our heart's desire,
more oft than not, employing thoughts shoddy,
immersed in delusion, until we tire,
whereupon we internalise focus,
shifting baton of awareness to heart,
divine entwined along the love locus,
deeming all souls as one, with none apart,
ascending thus, along octaves of love,
as bubbling joy becomes rapturous bliss,
enabled when head and heart, hand in glove,
feeling here now complete, nothing amiss.
We stoop to conquer, when we surrender,
as resounds within, soundless bliss thunder.

As energy rises within form
Polarity union manifesting a bliss storm
The facilitation magnetic
Permanent throb of bliss within being ecstatic
Means to the end is inner cleansing
Emptying our ego toxins debilitating
Emptiness requiring we let go
All that is ephemeral simply choose to forgo
Choice to internalise attention
When divine connect becomes our prioritisation

Feeling of hurt & pain
A poignant wabi-sabi stain
Adding to soul beauty
If we but look at it in serenity
As waves of sorrow rise
Each wave hides a surprise
Prompting us to internalise attention
Forgiving source of grief manifestation
The cause being both the other and us
Prior soul agreements in each pulse
Looking then at sorrow as experience
Inevitable in this world of transience
Making this grief then our meditation
Devoid of narrow thought precipitation
We shed off attachments-fears-desires
Consigning all contractions into the pyre
Rotating polarity thus a simple trick
Enabling us to resurrect like the Phoenix
In love with love nonjudgingly dispersing
The goodness of our heart all embracing
We are never lost for God resides within
Feel bliss in our heart in stillness sanguine
Entwining with and imbibing in permanence
Divine bliss pulsating as our innate innocence
Within
What you are within
Is more beautiful and powerful
Than what externally you present
The untapped knowledge that's inside
Is more than you can explain outside
Your creativity is so much more amazing
So focus all your energies
On your internal potentiality
You are amazing
So shine your light
You are amazing
Bring out what's inside.
Internalise, questionalise
Interrogate ourselves
To justify some others belief in hell?
Seek into the deep
Explore past the bolt closed gates
See yourself and weep
Justify or clarify?
Be one with what you are?
Apologise to no man's eyes
Because they are just like you, or worse than you for being what they are
We steel ourselves to hide ourselves
From facing the realities of what we are
We pretend so many different things
So we don't have to look that far
We smile when we should cry
We laugh when we should scream
The force of nature is there for all
The force created by mankind is selective
Not for all
Such technology, such famine
Such life, such evil
Men and women, child or children | money, greed, money, greed, money, greed!
In the end - who wins?
