Short Befuddlement Poems

I woke in a pool of befuddlement
was I still alive?
or was this death?

my heart was rapidly revolving
as if I had run the Boston marathon.

I felt discombobulated
since that loud gasp
when my soul reentered my body

hitting my chest full on
re-entry is difficult for us astral travelers....

My black son
He did not belong
Unwelcome
Unannounced and subsequently
Uninvited
To attend his predominately white Honors math class online
Confirmations abounded
With increasing befuddlement
By the substitute teacher
“Are You Sure?”

Affirmed
Welcomed
Invited
Permitted to remain 
After all
He did belong
My black son...

I was lost tryna find life's key
Befuddlement
Thinkin' the world needed to love G

Attention rushed in like a flowing sea
Too Abundant
Including bloodsuckers like riding fleas
Too Indulgent

Veil:
the dark,
ignorance,
befuddlement,
web of illusions,
begetting delusion,
said to be a divine play,
as our fickle attention sways,
blown like a leaf in the hurricane,
encircled by ego, our thoughts inane.

More the learning, lesser is our knowing,
whilst joy and sorrow remain cyclic.
On choosing total surrender,
we imbibe bliss in wonder,
resting our lower mind,
free of ego bind.
Our ascension
just happens, 
as does
dawn.
