life does test, again and again
one day sunshine and next day rain
checking to see the way we react
how this dream sequence, we enact
soul breaking free of fears that chain

Quintilla

[Unseeking Seeker]

Fallen from grace, our heart seeks expansion
That we once again see God face-to-face
Cyclic pain and joy cause agitation
Pursuit of happiness, unending chase

Memory erased, life puzzles we lace
Following our ego spawned suggestion
To get ahead, we thereby brace to race
Fallen from grace, our heart seeks expansion

One day we get to point of exhaustion
Surrendering thought, relying on grace
Stillness and silence our meditation
That we once again see God face-to-face

Recognising stagnation as disgrace
Enter the vibrant void of cessation
Fears and desires, gradually deface
Cyclic pain and joy cause agitation

At ease like the breeze; earth a play station
Detachedly flowing at an easy pace
Ceasing to offer any reaction
Pursuit of happiness, unending chase

Each offered experience, we embrace
Choosing vibrant life of celebration
Each ego impression, to root we trace
That there no longer be separation
Fallen from grace

Buddhist view on aversion and desire,
cognises oscillations between them,
thereby sidestepping consequence dire,
nipping thorns and flowers, before they stem,
equal in dark and star of Bethlehem.
Cessation by negation, age old ways,
far cry from the tantric, who to joy sways,
dancing at all times in celebration,
imbibing within bliss, that always stays,
given to play, in vibrant elation.

One view accepts that what is, simply is,
thus centered in the void, without movement,
choice of non-action, exiting thought quiz,
heart equipoised in quiet contentment,
whilst the other infuses joy intent,
each breath inflow taken as divine grace,
burning yearning to see God face to face,
all acts performed, in aspect surrender,
seeking out the truth, at a burning pace,
whilst beholding Gods manifest wonder.

Plunged into this dream world, heart frolics
Yet find itself limited by body
To be like superheroes in comics
Boundless aspirations so embody

Our fearless, alert pilgrim soon discerns
The world external is but fleeting form
Going within, in astonishment learns
Soul eternal pulsates bliss currents warm

Consciousness expands, feeling touch divine
Mind-body but an earth life interface
All enabled, when our head and heart align
Desires cease, upon imbibing Gods grace

Seeking the zenith, why settle for less
To reclaim love and light, simply say yes

Sonnet

[Unseeking Seeker]

Man perfect was Gods creation
Everything was hunky-dory
Need to feel feral sensation
Birthed his broken person story

Fallen from grace, in matter coarse
Man perfect was Gods creation
Renouncing love, employing force
Chose the path of agitation

Delusion amidst illusion
Took birth here again and again
Man perfect was Gods creation
Yet now his soul, reveals dark stains

God so kind, threw man a lifeline
His conscience, urging cessation
Free when head, heart and love align
Man perfect was Gods creation

[Unseeking Seeker]

we observe

thought forms rising
conjuring hypnotic illusions
seeking to enmesh our attention
that they may increase their life span
feeding off our pranic life force
compelling us to believe
that we are the doer
so creating these dreams
manifest as desires fleeting
rooted in attachment to body
which though an instrument
would have us deluded
that we are not spirit
vibrant and eternal

how amusing

entity perceiving
enabled spectrum
choosing ceasing
enlivens sensorium
delight deepening
as sways pendulum
bliss hues imbibing
sans ego residuum
God’s light weaving
rapture continuum

[Unseeking Seeker]

Nonchalant eye curt, births feeling of hurt,
belied expectation the causation
of hearts contraction, as ego thoughts spurt.
We did choose to nurture expectation;
now unable to deal with rejection,
we self-impose suffering day and night.
Even revenge will not set matters right,
for as said, if we take an eye for eye,
the entire world will be, soon without sight.
As clear truth dawns, our heart in relief, sighs.

Thought polarities as doer and resonator
Pulsate within our mind-body combine
In truth, free will enables us as co-creator

Blessed with this recognition, with truth align
Our innermost thought patterns cognised
Our witness stance, chooses vibrations divine

In the void of no-thingness, ego is vaporised
Signalling relinquishment of attachment
Thoughts distilled, nothing judged or sized

Our relaxed attention, flowing in contentment
Cognition beyond perception or non-perception
As a bliss mist, nestled in our native element

This time stretched stillness as our orientation
Empty mind-body vessel is devoid of desire
Agendaless exuberance vibrancy of meditation

Love transmuted thoughts, has aura all afire
Bliss engulfs form, for which soul does aspire

Terza Rima

[Unseeking Seeker]

What did we learn from Mother Earths signal
Cajoling us to be kind and gentle
As our life upturned, with her message stern
That she will not idly watch her home burn
Whilst man heartlessly upon earth tramples

Posterity will judge this parable
Message received is direct and simple
Art of living, with mindful eye discern
What did we learn

Earth strikes back; we pray for a miracle
With narrow agendas on our table
Consciousness darkened by lack of concern
Though quick to take, we are slow to return
Attitude of man, tragicomical
What did we learn
