Grasping

Sitting quietly one day,
Relaxed,
Not thinking at all of “spiritual” things,
Resting, simply breathing,
Feeling myself Alive,
Out of nowhere it arose…

Bliss!

What's this?!
Sublimity Itself!

I grasped with All My Being…
It vanished.

Watching leaves sway in a breeze one day,
Puppy at my feet,
Warm sunlight,
Cool, fragrant breeze,
Simply watching,
Swaying within, dancing with the leaves,
Feeling myself Alive,
Out of nowhere it arose…

Bliss!

What's this?!
My Heart's Desire!

I grasped with All My Heart…

It vanished.

Laying in bed one day, gazing out the open window,
Green trees, blue sky,
Magnolia blossoms in the warm air,
Surrendered at last, to being forever unenlightened,
Just… as I am,
Puppy at my feet,
Simply watching,
Swooning within, drowning in Magnolia,
Feeling myself Alive,
Out of nowhere it arose…

Bliss!

What's this?!
My Essence!

At last, through Grace, I rested, ungrasping…

Bliss!
