Autumn leaves adorning the barren earth
hold beauty for the beholder alive
whilst their presence in the void smiles in mirth
always divine entwined, in the bliss hive
This dream life unfolds in as is ordained
heart’s desire being manifest here now
fulfilling each whim but soul feeling chained
until we do choose, love pulse to follow
No sooner we exit game of shadows
we awake here and now, free from bondage
delusion drops away, heart lotus grows
no longer with desires, battles we wage
The path is easy; we simply let go
Rekindling our soul’s light, in stillness slow
Sonnet
