a spider intrudes
we swat it
our behaviour
feral, territorial
far from mindful
earth life teaches

he rode a horse
mindful of its free spirit
entwining bodies and souls
to ride within fierce winds
in carefree abandon
with each enablement bestowed
ego urges need to be stowed
for which we need to be watchful
as a debt to God by us owed
we notice ego discontent
with the way things are
it has nothing to do with us of course
Self shines like a bright star
the flow of time impacts us not
in as that we pursue no goal
we continue at a slow trot
allowing God to guide our role
prayer reaches God in the void
enlivened by caress of love
we are a mist that has no name
invoking His grace from above
we fade away at eventide
and in that in between zone
deep inside we wingless glide
our finer sensibilities gently hone
no one comes and no one goes
life as impulsed gently flows
soul exits ego’s thought quiz
all that remains ~ a bliss fizz
Was it always black and white?
Don't blame the past, all right!
Focus on our inner zen,
Positive vibes for us to yen....
Here and now in feeble form dome
Mindfully subtle body comb
Invoking thus bliss magnetism
Giving rise to the mantra Om
close to the source and yet distant
unknowingness too a delight
no aspect of us resistant
we embark on a wingless flight
without our knowing it
as we’re taken on a bliss ride
in timeless time ego vaporises
whence in the void we wingless glide
when divine epiphanies dawn
ego is awestruck and amazed
from the vibrant void we peep in
as witness consciousness unfazed
head having melded with heart
ego identity vaporised
all souls one, none from us apart
light of our true Self is realised
tranquil vibrance seeks no target
and is as such agendaless
yet each pulse is animated
by rapturous bliss mists that bless
the play of divine light and sound
holds for us no attraction
save seeing God face to face
no epiphany offers satisfaction
separation and then union
giving rise to bliss ignition
exhumes ego spawned delusion
light of Self seen seems like fiction

an earthy agenda intrudes
compelling us to act and engage
mindful not to scar face of space
we nonchalantly turn the page
we swat the spider
lest it harms us
it does look ominous
did we take permission
from the universe
and later apologise
why would we switch on thought
when bliss beats within pulsate
in stillness we are self-taught
teleported to heaven’s gate
ego lowers, spirit raises
in the void our presence grazes
unbound is delight of our heart
singing for God endless praises
higher heart comes into focus
our third eye radiates cool heat
we amble along love’s locus
vibrant presence feeling upbeat
mind rests so there is no debate
we have no agenda to state
in the timeless now bliss beats wow
we happily embrace our fate
be it victory of defeat
ask to whom do such outcomes come
navigating life’s lucid dream
what’s real is God’s bliss beat hum
