Innermost
I am in my heart of hearts
In meditation with my soul,
I have achieved a peace tranquil,
I challenge stormy waves to roll.
I glide in and out of pain,
Bow, with grace, with elan
Make a soft painting out of pain,
When life’s toils make me wan.
How noble indeed our souls can be
God's good fishermen on life’s raging sea
Has cast a net to catch my breath
My soul is drunken to the lees
Both the nectar churned
To be immortal Gods
And the poison that guards
The precious holy thought,
Rise and ride life’s waves,
Style its simple elegance.
Cast out sin from within.
From sinner's view,
See the inner you
Shining blazing forth
Blameless dew...
What lifeless blue corpse this
Body of ours, timid,
Fearful, how we cower
Our venom contained in
Thy brave blue throat of pain
Divine nectar we seek in vain.
When inside each heart, each soul
Such sage magic wrought, of
Compassion’s noble draught,
Enough to make us whole.
Teaching to cast aside
Our plight, reach out, reach out
Beyond your lonely might
There to see, love doesn't end,
When we dive deep my friend
Beyond our depth, an act of faith
Beyond knowledge’s certitude
Reaching by instinct to be merciful
That is eternal immortal beatitude.
Repay love’s debts, accept pain
Yours, others, it matters not,
Embrace Abel’s inner Cain.
Human-divinity you have wrought.
Now, I am protection’s
Innermost sanctuary
Salvation and seeker,
Therein no quandary.
Outing pity and judgement
Dwellings of grace and mercy
We, are our own redemption,
Needing no penitent plea.
We are true immortals,
Just you, just me.
