I A MEDITATION

 

V I.13/14

 

Renouncing all attachments, pinned to things

Like ivy tendrils cling to prison wall,

We bend the ear to hear a clarion call

“Rest in the flame of Self’ our Phoenix sings !

 

“This is your natural state” the brass bell rings !

“Dive deep in Consciousness of Real Being

To become the Light of effortless seeing

That I Am That I Am!” The bird sprouts wings

 

To inwardly soar and safely nest in Heart,

Released from snares, the properties of sense.

Unveil now our Natural Godlike part

Within, and like that Light rest in blissful ease.

 

So regain the ‘One” illumined, from whence

We strayed, and now return in perfect peace .
