MIND UNFETTERED

Overcome

With joy

Caught up

In the Presence

Life is

Love is

In the Presence

 

Without the One

There is no Life

Only the empty void

Without Love

There is no Life

Only barren desert

 

Overwhelmed

With the rapture

Wrapped in attentive

Awareness

The cosmos and I

Are one

Mind unfettered

Leaping from its prison

Unshackled

To experience the One

All encompassed

All encompassing

United with all

Uniting all

 

Soul unbound

Soaking up

The abundant bounty

Of the benevolent universe

Rapt in Love
