Everlasting Bliss

"Where passion is, peace is not; where peace is, passion is not. To know this is to master the first letter in the divine language of perfect deeds.” - James Allen “From Passion To Peace” 1910

Everlasting Bliss

Once seen,

Never forgotten,

All error,

Rests within.

-

Blank slates,

Start we all,

Born into,

Whatever may befall.

-

Circumstances varied,

Karmically bestowed,

Unknowing, unsuspecting,

Burdens carried.

-

Harsh and unforgiving,

Rules that bind,

Instructions not included,

Must find into mind.

-

As life brings,

It’s invertible flows,

Trials? & tribulations,

Nobody knows.

-

Reactions too,

Emotional responses,

Embeding percieved lessons,

Deep down inside.

-

Alas for most,

Dualistically driven,

Unfiltered & raw,

Conclusions we draw.

-

Living our lives,

Driven by passion,

Humans buffeted by,

Primordial desire.

-

Wanting more,

Averice arises,

Envy, lust and pride,

Naming a few I must.

-

Reckoning awaits,

Seeds one has planted,

Harvest & bounty,

Never abates.

-

By tragedy or downfall,

Or perhaps curiosity driven,

During this short life,

Or at final call.

-

A chance to awaken,

Hard lessons buried deep,

Cause & effect,

Reexamining the leap.

-

Transmuting the pain,

Transcending the strife,

An aha moment,

One has re life.

-

Those wrongs not righted,

Unfair outcomes, slighted,

Assumed by another,

Externally ignited.

-

Bound as we are,

Such limited perspective,

Those eyes staring back,

Not from afar.

-

Natural order,

Applies to all,

Recognizing no border,

Simple, unyielding, universal.

-

Opportunity awaits,

Free will emanates,

For each of us,

Determines our fates.

-

Never too late,

Transforming our passions,

Abiding God’s law,

It never abates.

-

Purity’s kiss, peace & joy,

Love for all,

You can’t miss,

Everlasting bliss.
