Periscope Vision

“come back, come back, oh wisdom from your flight
ignite our heart, that we too see the light”

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

Disjointed thoughts written the night before
Retrieved next morn for a final review
Clear light of dawn, has now dimmed their allure 
We doublethink drunken resolves anew

Recognising repression not the way 
Sublimation too not finality
We go to the roots of why our heart sways
Manifesting within turbidity

Affirmations made, all fleeting cravings
Seeking fructification of outcomes
Fulcrum unstable, our goalposts shifting
We go in, slowing ego momentum 

Musing upon our thus far life journey
We know now, why happiness elusive
Whilst objects of desire are aplenty
Joy in permanence remains reclusive

We have then, external ephemeral 
Bubbles of illusion, like wisps of smoke
Then there is the internal eternal
A heart throbbing with love, as God bespoke

Reflecting thus upon heart impelled thought
We are able to discern origin
On one hand we have those lower mind brought
On the other, love vibration virgin

Recognise oh hermit, inner craving
Feel within our heart, Gods love beckoning
