Welcome to your sacred verse.
This poem invites you to listen beneath the noise of thought,
To the quiet,
Steady presence within.
And I invite you to sit back and listen,
Allowing that which you are grateful for to rise to the surface and rest in your heart.
There is so much being said within the domain of our mind,
Discerning ego or soul,
Awareness refined.
The voice of the ego,
Conditioned and familiar,
Often the first to speak up,
The thought loops,
Cellular.
Perhaps what you heard when you were a child programmed your psyche,
Beliefs were compiled.
Allowing you to organize the world and navigate it smoothly,
Like an avatar in a game,
You are immersed completely in reality outside of you,
What is called living.
Seduction of the senses,
The main goal,
Surviving.
And with that goal in mind,
The ego takes the reins,
Seeing becomes believing,
We are just our brains.
This is one way of existing,
Collective hypnosis,
Believing your thoughts,
Humanity's psychosis,
Resulting in a world on fire,
Violence,
War,
And cruelty.
Being right trumps compassion,
We are numb to brutality.
There's another voice within us,
It's steady,
Yet whispers.
Under the surface of your skin,
It is the source of your shivers.
It is the knowing that nudges,
The heart opening for an embrace.
Loving all beings completely,
This is called grace.
The portal to this state is the cessation of thought,
The quieting of the ego,
Mental stillness is wrought.
Opening the inner eye to see the confusion of the ego,
Allowing the soul to step forward and wisdom to grow.
Desiring not to fight,
But to be peaceful,
To live in balance,
To be grateful.
For this planet and her bounty is a miraculous gift.
For all of her creatures,
Let us uplift by getting quiet and listening to the voice of your soul.
May all beings cease suffering,
Be the only goal.
May we know the truth.
Believing is seeing.
Let our soul create our world through our quiet being.
