we’re fooled not by caress of bliss sedate ~
it’s power is potent when in full spate
In stillness sedate, as we meditate
Strobes of silence meld with our soft heartbeat
Hear these hibiscus hymns that elevate
Celebrate as refrains of life repeat
As the light that lights all lights, we just are
Rainbow in full view, envied by the sky
One with the all, we woo a distant star
Cradled by Cupid’s mellifluous sigh
In-form polarities merge in our core
Thus self-aware, we’re centred everywhere
Each pore a door, through which blessings in-pour
We plunge into the void, just for a dare
Pheromones mingle, our eye is single ~
Heart’s rapture grows betwixt bliss beat’s tingle
Surging storm swarms in the shattered sky,
traces tormenting terror in frantic air flowing by.
The whispering wind of joy knows not why
it should face the ruthless turbulence of despair nigh.
Afflicting anger in the spiteful mind flares up high,
smolders the sullen life to make extant ember fly.
The anguished ashes drift away, failing to find nearby
the solace of benign hope, the heart doesn’t comply.
Harrowing haze clutches the hidden horizon to mystify,
spreading the shroud of gloom in the ambiance awry.
Away from the veiled sun the charcoal clouds glide sly,
hoping from dark a bright day will appear, they’ll descry.
Seething sorrow makes marooned mind to silently sigh,
permeates pain in heart plunged in misery by and by.
Agony rescinds as divine touch illumines the soul to rely,
in blessed life’s sanctum sedate hope weaves bliss to lie.

This social status brings me to my knees, as I sense a divide, a widening disease.
The upper class, devoid of any pride, spreads their lies and hide behind the media while
others silently bide.
They try to appease, ignoring the pleas of those in need, lost in the social freeze.
A creed that breeds, like a newly sprouted seed, fostering division, where hatred's the creed.
While they preach to the masses, those dealt a cruel fate, social structures thrive, but their
hearts are sedate.
This creed only nourishes greed at the top, while so many struggle, just trying to stop.
The sedate, marvelous morn.
It is incised into the wondrous ,
delighted,, greenish star ,
The sun is sowed in a melodic ,
amazing orchids.
An unceasing felicity fills
with an enriched, charming
run-let.
An exceptional, great gladness
flooding, the extraordinary
rivulet.
An arrow shot cannot be retracted,
so it would appear we must suffer fate
but impacted not by light refracted,
the hermit is calm in stillness sedate,
knowing that in time ripples will abate.
No target is offered by empty space,
where all that exists, is love, light and grace,
so if we be as such, we are immune,
living out our life at an easy pace,
deeming dance of destiny as jejune.
wherefrom arises the urge to create ~
find out oh hermit, in stillness sedate
In time stretched staid stillness sedate,
ascend, pause and consolidate
tranquil poise as our default mode,
mindful that thought forms do not bait.
Though long and winding is the road,
resting mind, we let soul decode
God’s pulsations of love and light,
breath by breath lightening heart’s load.
Deeming fears and desires as blight,
in repose by day and by night,
we embody the boons of grace,
blooming and garnering clear sight.
With no earth bound goals left to chase,
all attachments as we efface,
as we shine in our inner glow,
we’re held by God in close embrace.
If God-search be our quest,
why engage in debate?
Let ego cravings rest
in staid stillness sedate.
To be truly self-taught,
first untie the heart’s knot
and let magnetism flow,
rekindling inner glow.
Before creative impulse arises,
poised in time stretched peace of stillness sedate,
tidings carried by God’s will apprises
our presence to embrace its destined fate.
Living in the now, we simply allow,
the rising and subsiding of life’s tides,
trusting divine magnetism to endow
our form with bliss as in the void it glides.
Knowing all is one vaporises will,
that flowing with ease like the wafting breeze,
sipping soma nectar to our heart’s fill,
no demons remain for us to appease.
Having left erst fears and desires behind,
with ego exhumed, no fetters now bind.
Used to be sex scandals..Treason spys betrayal lies
Did some wear suits and sandals? But why
Digress? We see no less..indeed such retrograde
Examples..And regression; there is no
Suppression of avatistic, evil actions death

Sedate its citizens again..desensitize dis-harmonize.' Deifiy and demonize.' Play the chords dim the lights.' Then Bathe in blood
Is that your delight.? It pays to kill, are the innocents better.? In your estimation.? I mean? Is it a higher pay

The grinding of many gears.' The rash apportion.' The play on fear..To kill the elders.' Was just a sop to the crowd whose morals you frayed..? Or shredded morelike; zouds.! And here we see the basest tricks.'

Nonchalant to the quirks of fate
Breath by breath consciousness we hone
Trusting in grace of God alone
Mindful that thought forms do not bait
We know now we’re not body-mind
We’re living light, divine aligned
We rise in staid stillness sedate
Bliss magnetism ushers delight
We see Self in heart, shining bright
Without the need to meditate
Allowing bliss beats to renew
We are pure like fresh mountain dew
Heart at peace, poised at heaven’s gate
Feeling within soundless thunder
We feel each heartbeat in wonder
Nonchalant to the quirks of fate
Mindful that thought forms do not bait
We rise in staid stillness sedate
Without the need to meditate
Heart at peace, poised at heaven’s gate

Our true nature is love and light and bliss
but to know this, ego must be exhumed,
that full in emptiness, nothing amiss,
beholding our heart lotus fully bloomed,
we rest in the void, with bliss mists perfumed.
On waking from sleep, ‘I-thought’ arises
and being its nature, mind apprises,
so in our waking state, investigate
the source of ‘I-thought’, till mind capsizes,
that light of truth dawns, in stillness sedate.
Awareness self-aware, free from ego,
is our pristine state when we get to know
that who we are in truth is living light,
free from delusion, aura pure like snow,
divine consciousness drenched in bliss delight.
Bliss holds attention in meditation,
being simply total thought cessation,
which is the means for us to become free,
feeling one at last with God’s creation,
as vibrant presence roaming earth carefree.
