Before the Gates of Alahsar - Version - 2 - 24

They were hard-pressed on all sides.
only shot, stabbing strokes could they give,
they were carried on a wave of hate, 
their muscle's ached and pain did sing,
the time to push forward one last time.

The main battle unit of foot,
they have stopped moving back,
once more forwards, 
slowly they sing death's song.
Once more the Arlagh feels their sting,
this had to be their last push,
their strength was ebbing,
the blood would have to flow.

The cavalry on the left, 
all their arrows had been loosed,
now, sword and spear to battle,
half of them attacking the enemies left flank.
The other half now though for survival, 
the enemy hidden, they came out of the trees,
live or die, Alahsar's own fight 'til the end,
only time knew the outcome.

The mother of the storm and her army,
they were now split into three units,
the mother of the storm attacked the rear of the enemy,
half the force followed the mother.
Four hundred dark men, ready to kill,
they thundered across the plain,
thunder and lighting spilling out before them,
death to the forces of Evil.

Two hundred Dark Men led by Turvehr,
they would attack a new enemy,
those streaming over the Palovar Ford,
already, the first rumble was heard.
black blood would mingle with red, 
gold blood would also spill,
this group would have to hold firm,
if they fell, all could be lost.

The third group of two hundred Dark Men, 
they rode swiftly to the left, 
reinforcing the mounted guard, 
lightning rode with them.
They rode their Unicorns at the gallop,
soon the battle crash,
the Arlaghs would stand or fall, 
all was in the hands of the Gods.

Now, on the right flank,
one hundred and fifty shield riders,
they crash into the Arlaghs and Spiders,
swords cutting through giant legs,
spears thrusting through Arlaghs, 
this attack was little expected, 
now, the battle is hot,
Screams of dying Men, Spiders and Arlaghs, filling the air.

The shield riders we have left, 
going over the Raven bridge,
they now gallop through the trees, 
before them, they hear the unseen enemy.
The silver gate is open,
it must be closed,
they would gallop out of the trees,
attacking a hopefully, unexpectant enemy.

I pray that we be ever connected

That my ego’s agenda be never tabled

I pray that we be ever connected
Now and always, no time excepted
Trustingly unhurried about my attainment
Content in Universe bestowed enablement

Premium Member Nothing More To Fear

People live in fear
Dreading what is come
Holding on to the good
Before the evil dawn

I have nothing more now to fear
I have lived with fear
For the longest time
I feared THE time
When it would all end
When heartache my heart would rend
Happiness would turn to pretense
And love would be....
without recompense

I lived in fear so long, so long
But THAT time has come and gone
I have no fear 
For the worst HAS come and gone
It came and left me undone, U n D o N E

There are many things that I feel
But none of them is fear, NOT fear
For what I feared did come to pass
Love was not meant to last, ALAS
I have no fear
I’m now at peace…
Serene, I am…Serene I remain
For in the heart unexpectant
There is not a trace fear
Only….emptiness instead of happiness
What of fear?
Fear dares not come near....
For I have nothing more to fear.

Premium Member Stillness

How still is our stillness 
Is it unexpectant in attentiveness
Or is there an undercurrent of craving
A feeling that something is lacking
Making our meditation weak
Owing to energy leak
A blockage
That does ravage
Pristinity of our attention 
Denying divine connection 

How still is our stillness orientation 
Is it devoid of memory imagery anticipation 
Or do we mitigate the flow
With stuporous thoughts shallow
Attempting to predict outcomes by our will
Instead of allowing divine blessings to overspill 
Is our mind cluttered with knowledge & belief
Or are we still giving conditioned thought relief
Is our attention in bubbling bliss in its home
In an unbroken continuum in sync with Ohm

“If you would merge with oneness, vaporise!
Be a child again, welcoming surprise!”

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

Immersed in limitation 
Shrouded in darkness
Feeling thus confined
We flounder about
Hither and thither
Searching for joy 
Bliss in permanence 
Yet our heart senses
That we are far more
Than this mind body
With senses externalised 
Lower mind fragmenting
Trying to piece together
The puzzle of life
Without success

Thus in delusion 
Hypnotised by illusions
We strive and struggle
Hoping for a miracle 
Which instantly appears 
No sooner we ask
As voice of conscience 
Echoing Gods will
Which has but one vibration 
Love unconditional

Here begins a struggle
Between head and heart
Between ego and the divine
Former seizing, grasping
The latter, sharing, connecting
We recognise 
That the voice of truth
Is that of conscience 
Yet, we fear to lose
Fleeting images garnered
Or which we yearn for
Since we are clinging
To ego mind body
Stagnating in ferality
Trapped by our own hand
Unable to escape

It is then
That God in His compassion
Extends us a hand
Showing us the clear light
Of immutable truth eternal
By posing challenges
By signalling the futility 
Of chasing a mirage
Illusionary thought forms
Which is what
All manifestations are

Thus when so graced
We begin to look inwards
In silence and stillness 
Thought rested awareness
Doing nothing
Simply resting
Poised in the void
Of no-thingness
Desireless
Fearless
Detached
Nonchalant 
Unexpectant 

In timeless time
In as ordained
Attention is softened
Thoughts are quietened
Ego cravings recede
The external fades
As we get to
Vibrant emptiness 

Thus we are
Thus we remain
For as long as it takes
Toxins within cleansed
Our earth life vessel
This mind body
Is readied
To receive the elixir
The magnetic impulse
Of Gods bountiful love
In boundless measure

The paths are many
We know them not
For we are not the doer
God alone is the mover
In childlike trust
Aspect allowing
We imbibe the bliss
Scintillating 

~~~~~~~

He is that who may not be named
We too are as He, oh hermit
Within heart as the turret
Our divinity unstained
