Fear
mirrors
heart’s desire
seeking objects
in world of transience,
which are doomed to perish,
thus either which ways we shrink
trying to seize and grasp shadows,
prolonging our pain and anguish here,
self-blocking divine throb of bliss within.
Cessation of desires the only way
for us to exit cycle of pain,
simply abiding in stillness,
devoid of all narrowness,
trusting in God alone,
with an open heart,
eager to meld
with His love,
here and
now.
