God was Never Outside — a poem
Thoughts and feelings
How often they conquer
And divide the one who
Lies behind, the shaft of
Light that keeps everything
Alive; you’re consciousness
The sun that brings all to life
Did you forget you are that
Light, slipped inside to become
Just the object of your delight?
Beware, it’s less than a second’s
Ride for delight to turn into
A reflection that died, as you
Imagined God was outside
The truth is this: you are the
One that is always there
The centre of all experience
The one that sees everything
Arise and fall, the cosmic joke
Is this: you are the one you’ve
Spent All this time looking for
The funny thing is you were
Here all along, but unseen
Hidden by the mind’s maelstrom
Stand back and watch it go on
Remain seated just there and
Finally see, nothing is wrong
Apart from this estrangement
