Taking yourself down off the pedestal

[JustBe]

I rise to meet myself
The circle of life calling me
As myself
The rise and fall capturing me
Greeting me, to undo all sides
Challenged, I lack the grace
I fall into the trap of knowing
My heart it calls me home
To end the majestic nature of myself
Not as loss, but as a lightly held composition
That is neither here nor there
Neither higher or lower
Stripping back the intellectual hold
Drives you down to the being state
Through those channels
Where every veil
Clouded with its endless tales
Cannot be told, cannot be bound
As liberation, freedom found
The flow of self never attains
Believes itself or where it aims
It simply moves aware and clear
Nothing grips, nothing steers
The trick of mind, believes it needs
To stand so tall and always feed
On its contents, on those tales
Never fear, those adoring needs
The tricksters mind when understood
Is never fooled or lost in tales
The ladder pulled on its lofty maze
Stripped right back
The humble heart
Stands so small
Insignificantly apart
Of the greater simplicity
Where it’s jewels abound
Come from deep within
It’s being found
These jewels are nourished
Supplied in love
Forging union
There is nothing to shove
Push, deny, make life be
The vision of splendour
In life I be.
