We beseech heavens to ignite
our heart that mind may see the light,
opaqued by both fear and desire,
thus long and lonesome seems the night.
Death looms ahead and now we tire
of narrow thought forms we do sire,
so befriending silence we pause,
with vast space choosing to conspire.
In staid stillness fickle heart thaws,
clipping in this way, ego’s claws,
that thus doing nothing at all,
we see our true Self, free from flaws.
When we are still and thought forms stall,
we hear clearly God’s loving call,
asking us to wake up from sleep,
that truth of being, we recall.
Silence the void, wherein we leap,
plunging headlong into the deep,
prior to which head and heart merge,
whence boons of grace we then so reap.
Feeling within divine mists surge,
our heart within the stream we purge,
witnessing wayward ego die,
that from delusion we emerge.
Peace engulfs us, we hear soul sigh,
in joy waving ego goodbye,
seeing earth life as but a dream,
now free at last, ready to fly.

Light opaqued by ego casts a shadow,
of dark desires on the screen of our soul,
fears which we are unable to let go,
finding our life spinning out of control.
Strange it is, light to darkness pays homage,
voice of conscience stifled by lower mind,
so we suffer until we come of age,
gentling touch, becoming loving and kind.
Love and light are the forces that uplift,
ours for the asking if we shift to heart,
so dear hermit, let us reclaim God’s gift,
feeling at our core, bliss ignition start.
Know darkness as but the absence of light,
innate to our soul, discerned with clear sight.

Is full of concealment,
form, and void. A
plane of darkness
where immortals
descended from grace,
as their flames lay
buried under their temples
and forgotten by.
Intertwining within the
heart of matter lies
the key to hidden wisdom
hidden in darkness,
opaqued by the initiates.
Man's own unreality makes
him subject to the illusions,
as if he is a prey
of his own web.
He relies deeply upon
his faculties and go
against his own will as
he repositions his
chronological orders by
impeding upon the inevitability
as he becomes the cause
of his own effect.
Once the man soul
has ripened with knowledge
and wisdom, he is then
pluck like an apple,
ready to be harvested, then
assembling back to
the lake of fire,
from which he cometh.

In lower realms, where darkness reigns
Lust and rage dominate
Love’s opaqued by dark feral stains
Souls tremble at hell’s gate
Love with love doesn’t pair
Angels too tread with care
Save The Buddha, none dare
Fear overwhelms
In lower realms

The world clouded over the side walks started to crack
Motion became sickness as the sky from blue went black
Darkness consumed the Being of once enlightened souls
Pushing the weight of thunder burying all within dirty holes
Blindness opaqued the vision that light so often brings
Sensing how it all is senseless paid for in sufferings
Atop sits the entity, black clothes, black hair, black heart
Masked within his darkness painting our agony in black art

Contradictions
Frosted eyes opaqued evanesence,
chilled bone soup luminescent.
Veracose veins, tight muscle tenses,
Awareness alert but unable to sense this.
Medical liquor uncured infection,
categorically diseased without no protection.
Split highway, wrong chose direction,
a blue suit ordered ludicrous inspection.
Decision based morality by some Politician,
static cling energized body friction.
Paranoid thinking thoughts of suspician,
Shhh... quiet and just listen...contradictions...

Surreal hallucinations wafted dense,
metaphysical quantities swirled fast,
normal vision opaqued beyond farthing,
neurons rallied electrically in maze,
storey up the ground was holy,
brain had distanced from the body,
dismembered body parts were as yet members,
to keep me whole,
brain still had the control,
mental activity sometimes catpulted in hyper,
body felt left behind,
but the whole felt super.
