   SPIRIT ENLIGHTENED : WHAT IS?

origins of ʻitʼ seen, in zone beyond the known,

the story of spirit -
in evolution, in enlightenment, in experience,
continues.

our ancestors dwelled & dug to see ʻthatʼ,
that, transcending the ʻgodʼ of our present,
that, leading us to the ʻlightʼ in future -
the ʻconsciousnessʼ, above & below horizons,
multi-dimensional, ʻShunyaʼ, divine, 
creative, healing, blissful.

*

in time present, we, the contemporaries,
of all mental hues, memetic cues, spiritual trues,
are seeing, feeling ʻthatʼ spirit in motion again,
whispering in our soul ear : rise, for you must.

what is ʻitʼ, who am ʻIʼ -
the quest encoded in you & me, before our presence in motherʼs womb,
is inching up to new dimension,
decoding & revealing the ʻselfʼ, in lifeʼs play - without, within.

*

we see,
life embarked on lane, chosen,
not by him or her or them, but unknown conscious -
the great web of life.
experiencing myriad forms of spirit, hidden in matter animate, inanimate,
we love, laugh, cry, create, fight, hope & seek more.

we see,
sensitivity, simplicity, sincerity earthed in us,
defines dimension of intensity & insight unique to self,
vibrating you & me, to respond to life in own authentic way.

we feel,
ʻthe revelationʼ, ʻthe truthʼ, ʻthe divineʼ, in moments & spaces.
with smile in our heart, we then allow, the unfolding,
embarking the self on stage chosen, by known conscious -
the great spiral of life.

*

seeking & unveiling answer, for & by us,
to that encoded quest beyond corporeal birth,
the ʻspiritʼ narrates its story from within us.
in locution, reflecting evolutionary home of now,
ʻitʼ is expressed, through we & me.

we say,
a dark event was dealt, the need to know became the will,
something within ruffled & scuffled to find the way out,
it grew within, unbeknownst to world slumbering at dawn,
physical form, mutated from golden to olden to embolden mode.

we witness,
it shakes all within, bringing life on brink of end,
with compelling, telling wish to be born again, in womb of this death,
it cajoles us, to midwife rebirth of self.

this new being in union with ʻdivineʼ
- the unfolding ʻcreativeʼ within,
sets out afoot, to lighten our world,
healing & bringing us home to ʻsoulʼ,
submerges the ʻselfʼ in sea of life,
dividing & uniting holy spirit in loving embrace,
for him, for her, for you, for me & for all,
in unseen expansion of grace.

*

perched in front of the screen, we marvel on
those human lives - carriers of our collective culture,
granting us the spectacle to see our moral meme, and guiding us all
to divine milieu, flowing & gliding into ether infinite.

for us, most & many,
enigma continues, what is enlightenment? who is enlightened?
what is spirit?
