Wisdom, the wave of awakening.

Wisdom, the wave of awakening.

A Poem by Melekije

I enjoy drifting silently through the current,

Carried under the waves,

Where music of the ocean embodies me with comfort,

Like being in the womb.

I am weightless.

I feel at peace.

 

Instinctively this brings on a sense of being, 

A sense that civilization tainted throughout our existence,

Polluted by influence of negativity and impatience.

 

Peace, is floating away from the abundance of responsibility that has no real meaning or end goal.   

 

Am I a sheep?

Or am I the Sheppard?

 

My eyes are open,

Glazed over with the desire,

Ready to break the endless monotony that I am forced to call 'The best life'.

I want to smell air that is pure,

I am familiarized with that aroma,

This is not it.

 

My roots are planted deep into this earth,

My soul bound to the universe, 

To the stars, 

To the worlds beyond me.

My heart is broken with fear, 

My mind is clustered and chaotic.

 

When does the madness stop?

I listen to the universe,

All the answers that are there for me,

I am fearful of the truth, 

Easy to sin.

Easy to give in to temptation and satisfaction. 

I train my heart to continue to love deeply in all that is broken,

I beg my mind to hold onto the hope that is flickered on the web of lies.

 

Curse this blessing to reflect into corners of my life,

Of our life,

Of the only life left.

 

Ignorance is bliss - my ego is drifting away - my patience is growing,

Or is it diminishing? 

Like the light I am drawn to.

Like a moth in the night, 

I blossomed to acknowledge the darkness,

Although I only want to travel to the light.
