Steadying Poems | Examples

Spherical wisdom

take any attribute of body-mind
discern its support, abode and essence
whence if we go deep enough, we will find
God’s presence in us as its quintessence

interconnected is all existence
wherein we too are a part of the whole
there never is from God any distance
irrespective of our ordained life role

to be as mindful as we are able
in stillness our vision pierces the veil
steadying resolve, flame of heart stable
one with oneness, in the void we set sail

breaking free from the cage of space and time ~
all that that then remains is bliss beat’s chime

Screen of awareness

God is the witness of every cognition,
being prior to spontaneous intent,
source of each and every life pulse transmission,
magic that causes heart to grant love consent,
potent breath sublime, a ceaseless emission,
steadying life forms through descent and ascent.
Though mind cannot know God yet we can become,
one with oneness as the sublime cosmic hum.

Optimal orientation

With eyes for no other, seeking God alone,
viewing material desires as mundane,
in mindfulness our consciousness as we hone,
befriending silence, we shed off ego’s chain,
purifying our heart, the way we atone,
that this gift of life bestowed be not in vain.
Moment by moment thus steadying resolve,
divine entwined, in timeless time we evolve.

Zen mode

subtle bliss tingles in toroidal heart
personify is-ness of our being
enlivened spine holds erect energies
the disc of grace at fontanel rotates
steadying thereby our third eye’s blink rate

soles of feet and palms glisten as light dawns
cool heat pervades every cell of our form
though we’re void-centric we cannot deny
heightened delight as our soul so blossoms
being both immanent and transcendent

The Descent

I took up the call
The command was made
Placed the receiver down
Hardened my resolve
Steadying my shivering nerves
I picked up the gun
Shot at the innocent man
He fell with a thud
Blood spurted from his chest
With my descent into Hell
I fell from Grace 
My gut swiftly swirled
Downwards the twilight zone
A throne of skin and bone spoke
"Thine sin you must atone."

Today

I need not travel far
to sense God’s nearness --  
the trill of His many
lyrical voices – Surely
the oriole knows same
intimacy; as does every
petal on the thrilling
rose, dripping luscious color
with scent – Clays-of-clouds
inspiring mental needing – 
the toes of an infant, twitching
destiny to explore, long before
bottoms callus, and his legs
steadying for firm excursion -- 

Today, I think, I will be a child
again – in my mind and heart
reacquaint myself with
good witches in fairy-tales,
and with angels and prayer – …. Treating phones 
and Internet like 14th century plague….

In My Left Armpit a Big Boll

In my left armpit  a big boll
That made me with anger boil…

Then, nurse began to water boil.
“Please, don’t touch it now: let it boil…”

“But not like breakfast tea I boil!”

I’d prayed fluid would spill on the soil
And had begun to like snakes coil
But her next move, I on that soil, 
With the planned help of a sir Doyle
Who made steadying me his toil…

Several attempts to escape foil…

Treating a boil could a day spoil;
Two friends in arguments embroil.

We Met a Clairvoyant

the clairvoyant saw
God within our heart
and our soul luminous

we were pleased
in as egoically
delusionally

for where is God not

yet these validations
quietened our doubts
steadying hearts resolve

to deepen inner silence

Drumwhindle

Swallows flying high above me in the early morning sun
Catching their breakfast feast
Reading the signs that Autumn has come
Steadying their wings for an African flight
A true act of nature

Sparrows watch me from a lilac tree which has gone to seed
What is this beast of man
What is his breed

The sun is shining far above casting shadows through the Elder
Sycamore and willow herb and the sweet smell of rose touched my
Senses

I am as you are I tell the sparrows a spark of light eternal energy but maybe not as bright they nod in agreement and turn to flight
Plums turn from green to crimson another sign that summer has gone
And Apple's drop from their hammocks
A feast for the life around me to sustain them through the
Harsh winter to come

A stone at my back casting its shadow dancing with the sun
A remenance of a culture who once walked these lands
Yes Drumwhindle where magic stands

Moving Toward Stability

VERTIGO
imbalance, dizzy 
wobbling, swirling, unsettling
headache, ear bones, legs, kneecaps
balancing, steadying, walking
firmly, upright
STABILITY

Steadying

When I was far alarmed
Startled then returned
Fire creator within my one
Enlightened me and burned…
Desire to seek peacefulness
To calm holistically,
Being all love seeing
Free autonomy.
Where burdens don’t influence
Or rattle any nerves
Anxiety diminished 
Along with all concerns.
The other place, this dreaming space
Embedded in my core
Always been a part of me
Even long before...
Eruptions of disruptions 
To naturally return
To the plane, time again
How powerful is home.

Friendship Can

Friendship can prevent a blip,
By steadying the ship
And steering it clear of a rip
So it does not start to tip,
And the mate does not need to look for his whip,
With nobody needing to strip,
Do a flip,
And into the water slip,
Resulting in a broken hip,
Or a bruised lip,
That starts to drip,
Making it difficult to share a nip,
Or even one little sip,
Which gives one the pip,
And the inability to take a kip,
Until the doctor makes a snip,
That looks like a zip,
And prescribes a pill for a long trip.

Bliss Electricity

Materiality of form an asset, imbibing & assimilating divine energy at a cognisable rate of vibration, enabling surfing the waves of bliss electricity by transiting from form to formlessness whilst in form. The waves which rise & fall, steadying to a humming purr, a tranquil peaceful expansive joy ever present. Boundaries between void & manifestation blur.

Haunting hum of Ohm
Within heart our spacial dome
Tranquil bliss at home

Torn

In life and love, 
sometimes we are torn 
between....

Wanting and waiting
Ranting and raving
Hurting and healing
Forgiving and forgetting

Crying and laughing
Loving and hating
Fearing and facing
Building and breaking

Searching and finding
Giving and taking
Wavering and steadying
Leaving and staying

May the mending of our tattered edges 
sew us whole again

Snow Blind-

By the grave I saw blacken snow flakes
Lightning flashed as I witness
Drawn down from blacken purple skies
Burst of brilliants, winter blast snow blind
Upon a midnight electrics static,
you came gently clanging
Deep into that darkness changing, snow blind
To warn me about the steady
That incremental isocheim - that incremental isocheim
Death shall bring trends
Eagerly I looked for tragedy, wintertime
The festivals alteration adjusting
The dynamics brought such sorrow, snow blind
I have dreams of flows misting snow men and women kissing
I crave the coolish, changeable climate
The cyclic cold snap contouring
Take thy gruel hot coal from out my heart
Come stand wit me twit the freezing blizzard
Come dear heart
Much I marveled the integrated icebox
The snow-covered snowplow steadying shoveling
So inviting is the thought…
To be frozen with me come not see will be so kind
If together we be 2 frozen lovers just snow blind
