Surrender

To create

to breathe life

to watch a spark of potential

arise and fade away

for creation is ever-present

with it’s partner of time

the one using the other

the other consuming the one

until the potentials collapse

into the realm from which they were resurrected

and the one can begin anew

always breathing

in and out

creation and destruction

the birth and the dissolution

the divine union

of creation and time

in the very nature

of the silence and noise

the light and the darkness

the love and fear

we love the creation

the forms as they come

and fear their loss

their disappearance into the void

but this is the beauty

the union is one

in essence both must be

for their union is divine perfection

and all that arises

will come to pass

in the ever-presence of who you are

You are taken away

in the wave of perfection

of absolute bliss

in which death seems like nothing

and you are the totality of everything

even that is an understatement

for everything cannot come close

to explaining who you are

these words are meaningless

petty abstractions

distractions for the mind

you are so much more

infinitely more

and beyond the things

and the no-things

there you are

eternal

ever-present

bursting with life

a sea of divine potential

just waiting to arise

The clinging

the grasping

the seeking

yet never finding

the seemingly endless cycle

of samsara

trying to get there

and escape here

to taste the bliss

and alleviate the pain

this is suffering

this is illusion

this is mara

but what is nirvana?

the end of seeking

the ceasing of all clinging

the attachment to this

the rejection of that

is no more

all is taken in

with absolute surrender

a complete embrace

of perfect love

heaven and hell

are allowed to be

in the midst of the perfect self

who loves them just the same

so let it be

come to know the truth

of who you are

stop the doing

just be
