Awakening
One of those rare moments of true awareness
The hand of bliss caressed my soul
as I lay awake all night
and to the sound of young girls giggling
my Self-worth I realised
My heart was radiating love
my mind became at peace
and for the first time in this life
I found my destiny
I saw the purpose in events
that contoured my life
I felt connected to each soul
who ever crossed my path
I saw how valuable they were
my family, friends and strangers
tasted the sweetness of soul’s embrace
in every interaction
I saw how rich my life has been
how abundant with love
streaming not just from family
but everything my eyes behold
I knew my empathy as strength
and not ambivalence
I saw the course my life must take
to fulfil my quest
The blissful calm my body bathed in
became enthusiasm
thoughts crystallised to insights
and my questioning ceased
I knew I had to be myself
that’s where my wealth resides
my experiences were worth sharing
myself I must expose
Tell my story through a book
to connect with those who look
share my truth
be the Truth
A sense of urgency arose
as I healed my injured nose
wondering would the ice pack
suffocate me when I slept
So I laid it by the bed
gave myself the chance to shed
the layers of formality
before I pass
All the rules that we adopt
often with so little thought
to how they will no doubt
shape our life
Life is short, too short to waste
being something that you ain’t
just because you fear
that you are not enough
Building roles that seem important
leaves you emotionally impotent
to partake in the ecstasy
that is You
So look deep into your well
that is where our Spirit dwells
patiently awaiting your call
jump in, join me, let us merge
through Eternity we’ll surge
in everlasting love and happiness.

This is an amazing piece of writing, self realisation…the detachment of ego and the awareness of the inner self….great to read like minded others!

We journey from self to find self. Again, beautiful writing and expression. We are the conductor and orchestra of our joys and sorrows. Some folks are caught in situations that seem entirely out of their control, but for those that can exercise free will, there is no one to blame for remaining with gloom but one’s self.
