Prioritising Poems | Examples

Premium MemberDISCOMBOBULATION

Dizzy mind is lost in a typhoon of confusion,
Inexplicable chaos is causing much delusion.
Scattered thoughts are echoing in disorientation.
Challenging the clarity, I'm struggling with comprehension,
Overwhelmed by the tangled web of perplexity,
Mind's labyrinth twists and turns in eerie complexity.
Bewilderment wraps its cloak around logical reasoning.
Overlapping emotions result in faith and hope weakening.
Bamboozled brain tries to fight for toxic clearance,
Unravelling pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to achieve coherence.
Lights keep flashing warning of upcoming turbulence,
An agitated stormy journey planned without due diligence.
Tormented by motions of disarray, I search for a remedy,
Identifying the source through mindfulness for serenity.
Organising and prioritising tasks to regain focus.
Navigating the fog to learn from mistakes that choke us.

Premium MemberVibrant emptiness

Making void centric our soul’s stance,
prioritising God-connect,
bliss beats rise and nodes within dance,
tempestuous, wild and unchecked.

Once we become empty and pure,
in staid stillness, fate quirks endure,
granting throb of love right of way,
we garner bliss that’s here to stay.

Premium MemberGod Alone Is

‘Mind negates, obscuring’ truth in a thought fog
Being but brazen attempts of our ego
To bemuse and confuse by such ruse, veiling light of God

‘So that under’ cloak of darkness, life an enigma
For worn, weary, wistful humans who’ve had a fistful
Of pain borne of heart’s stain, afraid to let go
Of fears and desires borne of delusion in world of illusion
‘As bound, caged’ and upstaged, soul feels not free

Life game losing by prioritising ‘Me, Mine and I’
Thus feeling remiss being not touched by bliss

Stroll In the Woods

The rustling of leaves the buzz from the hives,
the sound of lapping water is what makes the woods alive.
on one fine afternoon thought to take a stroll in the woods
Hoping the fresh air would clear the days worries.

Saw a mother squirrel gathering the chestnuts 
keeping a watchful eye on her babies 
and I must say I admired their guts
For they played near a snakes nest.

I sat there watching on the heather 
Gazing absentmindedly at their little play
And loo striked the snake 
Gobling one in a mouthful.

Running came their mother and took the others away,
The nuts long forgotten on the dreary ground.
evening fell but the mother didn't return near her child's prey,
for she knew she had a family to protect.

 That afternoon taught me a lot 
 Clearing my mind helping me to think straight
 Men are born and so do they die
 Bring grief and unhappiness
 But moving on and prioritising is the best way out.

Like Petrol, Unlike Petrol

Like petrol,
coming from a place of refining,
from crude to refined.
Like petrol,
propelling others, burning yourself,
using every energy to the last pint.
Like petrol,
when you are done burning yourself,
they refill, pick another petrol.

Unlike petrol,
never leaving the place of refining,
continuing steadfastly day by day.
Unlike petrol,
prioritising your growth first,
even as you stand up for others.
Unlike petrol,
refilling yourself by yourself,
staying filled, always relevant.

Fall

Sometimes it’s okay to fall
Sometimes it’s okay to let your heart take the call..
Sometimes it’s okay to shout,
Sometimes it’s okay to let the world be the reason for your doubts.

Don’t judge yourself with an eye of another,
‘Cause they cannot see your glow.
Its not your fault that you fell,
With burden of society’s goals.

Not every competition has to be won,
Not every medal has to be gold.
Start prioritising yourself,
Start seeing purity in your soul.

Love yourself like there is no tomorrow,
‘ Cause at the end you will have only yourself.
Make your flaws a part to be loved,
Be perfectly imperfect.

Self Love

Sometimes it’s okay to fall
Sometimes it’s okay to let your heart take the call..
Sometimes it’s okay to shout,
Sometimes it’s okay to let the world be the reason for your doubts.

Don’t judge yourself with an eye of another,
‘Cause they cannot see your glow.
Its not your fault that you fell,
With burden of society’s goals.

Not every competition has to be won,
Not every medal has to be gold.
Start prioritising yourself,
Start seeing purity in your soul.

Love yourself like there is no tomorrow,
‘ Cause at the end you will have only yourself.
Make your flaws a part to be loved,
Be perfectly imperfect.

Premium MemberDivine Fragrance

Divine fragrance, with each soft breath intake
Gentle, intimate, caressing parlance
Elixirous bliss, thus keeps us awake
All nodes within, join the beauteous dance

Vibrational proximity not chance
An unveiling, when the false we forsake
All doors open, to trusting innocence 
Divine fragrance, with each soft breath intake

Let our meditation, be without break
Prioritising divine alliance
Closer than our breath, in a warm handshake 
Gentle, intimate, caressing parlance

Once we are aligned, with pulse of conscience 
Clear light dawns, within our mind once opaque
Fragrant light shines in self-luminescence
Elixirous bliss, thus keeps us awake

Severing ties with ego, no heartbreak
It serves us now, without interference
In sea of tranquil calm, still like a lake
All nodes within, join the beauteous dance

Play divine, cognised by our sentience 
Blessings of God, we joyfully partake
Our lower and higher minds in balance 
Within our form, there is a bliss outbreak
Divine fragrance

Premium MemberInner Cleansing

As of our own choosing
We descend into gross matter
Earth life maya illusions bemusing
Fuelled by our minds ceaseless chatter

We make complex the simple
By stagnation in ego indulgence 
Shifting our view to love spherical 
We may reclaim our innate innocence 

As time goes by we form habits
Patterns of stuporous behaviour
Yet if we would reach the summit
We must become our own saviour

The truth of life is easy to discern
Looking back our life seems a dream
Thus here and now we instantly do learn
That life is a flow which continues to stream

Ceasing grasping we shift to connecting
Living our life with joy moment to moment 
One with the throb of bliss within scintillating 
Continuum of silence enhancing bliss quotient

There then thus no doing to be done
Shift within is straightforward and simple
Prioritising God realisation our ego undone
The child within us in wonder beholds miracles

Premium MemberPrioritising Stillness

Meditational stillness calm tranquil,
yet for most part we reside not therein,
thereby consciousness agitational.
We slowly get to centredness sanguine,
vivified by throb of bliss ignition.
The shift gradual, owing to ego
cravings we are reluctant to forgo.
As we slowly correct our alignment
in devout prayerfulness gentle and slow,
we reclaim bliss, our native element.

Premium MemberPrioritising Divine Connect

All or nothing, of no use are half measures 
Call of conscience seeks filling all fissures
Fall from grace on account of ego pressures
Tall we stand yet, equal in pain and pleasures

Judge not that ye be not judged, an old saying
Budge not, oh hermit! Let resolve be unwavering 
Grudge not hardship, being path for ascending
Nudge yourself, oh hermit, for time’s a-wasting

Unbroken awareness at the Satvik spectrum 
Shaken we remain if there be any ego residuum 
Forsaken we feel when oscillating as a pendulum 
Token of love yet enough to ignite our sensorium 

Recognising then love as the real God vibration 
Knowing yet not becoming unless we transition
Emptying out ego toxins we shift into cessation
Yearning for God then our unbroken meditation

Premium MemberDoer Vs Non-Doer

Who is the doer
Or non-doer
When a God alone is the mover
We are at best a cogniser
An experiencer
As layers of ego we uncover

If distilling attention be a doing
So then is quietude prioritising
Even the breath we are breathing 
Also not quite a happening
For it too is varying
With our attention fluctuating ... 

Surrender too requiring a surrenderer
Who within is the astonished wonderer 
Upon the pathless path the wanderer ...
Where lies the fulcrum of the cogniser
What makes unique dreams of each dreamer
Why use discrimination manifesting a thinker

The truth discerned in contemplation 
Is that moment to moment every resonation
Requires alignment with chosen vibration

Ah! Choosing requires a chooser
Thus resurfaces again the doer
Or is it non-doer?

Premium MemberLove In Love With Love

Seeker seeking awakening
The thought self limiting
In shallow waters wading

Whilst the pangs of hunger
Burning yearning fervour
Vaporises ego by surrender

Prioritising stillness as our orientation 
With the pulse of love in resonation 
Unbroken & effortless is our meditation 

No doing then to be done
As in being we become 
With the throb of love, one
