Power In Bliss (poem)

Power in Bliss

The Guru pierced a

hole

in my ego

Since then,

I scan my thoughts –

at least 100

times a day

to find out

that place

where

I

am

Am

I

going

down a

rabbit

hole?

Who is in

control?

Am

I

responding

or reacting?

How do I

feel?

The latter

is

a

guide

The ego

would have me

react

And he’ll feel

nice &

combative

Like he’s

got a

one

up

on

the

other

And

that

is

perfectly

human

I get

It

In responding

I can

only

be

present

And

respond

to

what

is

being

served

That is

the

place

of

power

I came

upon it

due to

the

misery

'Tis

samsara

after

all

Funny how

the

liberation

grips

you

like

magic

Funny how

releasing

ego

scoops

you

up &

propels

you

forward

in all

your

bliss

Your power of

manifestation

is

unleashed

as you

set

course

with your bliss

It creates

an

opening

And from

there

all

hell

breaks

loose
