Gnosis

Gnosis

I have never really 

Been focused in my life

I believe I am now

But I have changed

Too often to know 

For certain.

I ground myself in the earth

While exploring the inner reality

I am of the earth

By the earth 

For the earth

One with Creation

I have learned 

From what befell me

My path is my own

I do what I must to forge ahead

I know myself well

Compassion guides my actions

As I explored the Self

I have transformed

Yet scars are still visible

What came before

Left its mark upon me

Peace is hard to find

I move within to seek its joy

Yet without tugs at me

I embraced the victim inside

And came out the victor

The darkness still haunts my shadows

But the light guides my path

I fear I dominate

When certainty plagues me

I push forward dynamically

Toward the success I seek

Energy flows powerfully

Flooding the world with expression

This is my Gnosis which I share

Our path is our own

Our peace resides within

We already know what we need

Reach out for the impossible

It is there for the taking

Blessed be the Self

In all its glory

We are as we were meant to be

The next step is ours for the taking

Choose wisely

This moment will never come again

Great piece I've read today. I like the way you express yourself so clearly.
Go through some of Sufi stuff, especially Rumi's poems---my recommendation, after seeing your work.

[Drowning In Reality]

Yes, I am quite familiar with Rumi. He's a favorite of mine. :-) Thank you.

[Suhd]

My pleasure!

That light bulb moment...

embraced the victim inside
And came out the victor
The darkness still haunts my shadows
But the light guides my path

So much wisdom and depth to your words. Beautifully penned.
