Soul’s light in heart caged,
by ego upstaged,
when thoughts cease is seen,
mirroring God’s sheen.
Words cannot describe,
zing of bliss beat’s vibe,
cascading within,
playing on our skin.
The slow benign burn
in mind-body urn,
fixates attention
in meditation.
The table is laid
for bliss ready made,
revealing soul’s light,
in heart shining bright.

ETERNAL QUESTION
We all live in a world full of belief
Yet often with little understanding
And sciences too, deep at its roots
Religious compliance when it suits
Yet with a loyalty to the branding
And for some, can still offer relief
Ready-made answers for unknowns
Especially if there’s to be no analysis
A link to God doesn’t need religion
Yet faith still does require a decision
Some think technology is its nemesis
Like reading prayers on their phones
A supreme being can be a soft option
Even seen as a diamond in the rough
All is then done and dusted in one go
The book may be all one has to know
Alternative explanations always tough
Religions are over time, a concoction
Some claim a special insight or vision
And gaining that special pass to Bliss
Paying the ferryman to cross the Styx
As the Devil is always up to his tricks
Other options might be easy to miss
So hold back on all that easy derision

the mind is open for a change
Headless embrace an easy life a lift down the seventh floor to a foyer and doors that open automatically a café serves one from cooking peeling potatoes and ready-made salads
a walk in the avenue of shops that have empty words while expensive cars drive driven by owners whose sense of beauty is a Musk truck dead steel against the greening grass
then you know there will never be dog hair on the sofa, and there will be no happy, friendly dog you're here and she is content
You plan your escape from the trivial, how fast a lift takes to ground level, but meet an obstacle called old age and the maidens have gone
Finally, you see yourself in the bathroom mirror the ultimate purveyor of truth, the loss is
absolute, but despite that dreams are bigger than you whisper and tell you of a way out

as magnetism causes ego to fade ~
the table is laid for bliss ready made
rapture rises even as we stand still ~
all the doings are done by divine will
consumed by God’s flame in mind-body urn ~
relinquishing fear, we willingly burn

Your looks to carry your first impression:

but select dresses on choice of associates.’

Dress must fit well and also to look nice.
To tailor or give ready made order,

sputtering poetry,
the impotent poet
tells me, she was
“…puttering around Pittsburg.”
potent poetry. perhaps,
alluring alliteration
potentially portends
the winch to wind up
this bucket of water.
diviner twitches, dips,
dares to deviate
direct, dilate.
like a mad scientist, moronic
not to move these ready-made
sputters into a test tube, shake
and let them explode!
an avid, alliterative logophile
holds the power to possess,
to render the procession of
spoken word into usefulness.
alert to the prowess of moving lips,
gears cranking creativity and giddiness,
glad tidings go on and on, when
sputtered with regards to my sister’s trip.

Comes a time of unbreaking
what's broken
maybe broken to the point
a thing can't be fixed
ever
forever
severed.
To be sure prayers can find a home
but not when a divine plan's mark
is missed
yet must insist
with clenched fist
I resist.
A simple woodcarver, be
like Mister Geppetto
fend off a life of despair
perhaps with a little help from
a Fairy with Turquoise Hair.
For a creator
nothing causes elation
like its finest creation
seeking salvation.
All may end in ruin
in stringed freedom's destroy
it's never easy
bein' a wooden boy.
Life's call is abrupt
so keep your dukes up.

“The table's laid, everything's ready made
All are welcome, for love assigns no grade”
There's nothing to be done
Life plays out in as is ordained
We plant seeds of heart's intent
And in timeless time love's ingrained
Head and heart aligned and eye mindful
Speeds up our soul growth process
For if we make our heart porous
Bliss mists make ingress

Self-discovery, a path beauteous
The table’s laid, everything’s ready made
When aligned with voice of conscience righteous
Bliss fills us as a consciousness upgrade
Ensconced in rapture thus, by day and night
Our attention is soon internalised
Wisdom downloads follow, clear is our sight
In timeless time, God within’s realised
Love, wisdom and power to co-create
The threefold flame of Christ within us glows
Soul presence celebrates at heaven’s gate
There’s no doubt, for we’re in the boat God rows
Oh hermit, know that we’re he, who we seek
God in-dwells within ~ let’s take a sneak peek

If we be but still,
voids within will fill,
yet we choose to burn,
opting not to learn.
Why do we not see
that we are at sea,
heeding not conscience,
voice of innocence?
We are astonished,
seeing soul famished,
whilst in the river
of God, the giver.
The table is laid,
bliss served ready-made,
for those who follow,
love’s heartbeats mellow.
Taking snake as rope,
fear engulfed, we grope.
Save coming undone,
nothing need be done.
Silence and stillness,
melds us with oneness;
a path we must choose,
without an excuse.
When thoughts vaporise,
bliss beats within rise
but if we choose lust,
soul’s dreams turn to dust.
Thus, it’s up to us
to board God’s love bus.
Voids within will fill,
if we be but still.

You’ll find yourself on the other side of the blade
You’ll find yourself on the other side of the blade
You’ll find that trouble will come to you, ready-made
Today you’re the hero, tomorrow you’ll be the foe
Today you’re the hero, tomorrow you’ll be the foe
It’s the same thing as in ancient tales long ago
There ain’t no running or hiding in this wilderness
Ain’t no running or hiding in this wilderness
I think you’ll find nature impossible to resist
God has answers that you may not hear
The Good Lord has answers for you that you may not hear
Listen up child, lest all the good world disappear
Some people are blind to the tyrant that dwells within
Some folks are sure of the rules in a game they must win
Not knowing where to aim is the mark of sin
The demon of vice will not be easily tamed
He’ll threaten you with aggression for which you’ll be blamed
Til all that’s left of your legacy is a stain
The Major Judges are lining up above
The trumpets are sounding, the seals have been torn and clubbed
And the very last angel will sound the chaos of love
Yes the Final Angel will sound the chaos of love.
