Enlightenment

I look all around me
and what do I see
all smoke and mirrors
of how things should be
it’s all an illusion
a trick of the light
for though I’m in darkness
I’m bathed in false light
so I’ll just shut my eyes
and cover my ears
then all at once
I’ll lose all my fears
and slowly but surely
I’ll come to see
a new world of wonder
that’s beckoning me
where angels and spirits
they float in the air
and though I’m detached
I really won’t care
for in my acceptance
I’ll feel I’m at one
with every sweet atom
that’s under the sun
my  form maybe different
but we’re only the same
in this grand deception
of sunshine and rain
though now I’m enlightened
I truly can see
that space in existence
that god gave to me
in this a speck of life.

Each heart you know is timeless
It really does not age
It’s not the pump that beating
Or all that’s in its cage
For the heart itself a feeling
A vast and wondrous thing
Who travels in a body
And on whose time she clings
The mind can have its moments
And cast its many tales
But the heart it talks with wisdom
And love that will prevail
For logic has no bearing
Within the heart of love
Although the two together
They fit as hand to glove

Ebb and Flow

The ebb and flow of life

It brings us joy and pain

It fills our hearts with laughter

Then breaks them once again

It strengthens our emotions

So we can face each day

It does not rest for a moment

And its always been that way

It brings to us sweet new life

While clearing out the old

Because it tells our story

And helps it to unfold

Its flow it is persistent

Its ebb just the same

And no matter where we wander

The ebb and flow remains

Thought To Ponder – In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love. – Eckhart Tolle
