Metamorphosis of The Prodigal Son

 When the sacred light 

Transfuses you

Be still and receive it

Allow the omniscience 

Of your higher being

To scribble its signature

In every atom of your body

Be still

In a stillness that informs

Be Still

In a stillness that transforms

Be still 

In a stillness that illumines

Be still 

In a stillness  of distilled purity

Be still

And get consumed  

In a flame of ubiquitous knowledge

Where fear, doubt and  ignorance

Evaporate in a wisp of blue smoke

Be still 

And feel the presence 

Of the architect of the universe

Manifest itself

In harmonious reverberation 

Of your inner being 

Allow the footprints of blood

That you have left behind

To congeal in the archives 

Off ancient history

superb

Just read your poem and found it to be very much in keeping with my own experience and understanding. Really well presented and written with gnosis. Have you ever heard of Subud?

Thank you Andy

Great to know that this is in keeping with your experience. These things need to be experienced to be appreciated. No. I have not heard of Subud. Can you fill me in. There is a lot of inspirational stuff I can let you know about if you wish. Thanks once again Andy ..... Leonard

hey Leonard

The only reason I asked if you had heard about Subud was because you write as if you have been an adherent for a long time, that said it becomes irrelavent which path you follow as long as you do follow some path, although even that said we are all following some path wether we are aware of it or not. I have been a Subud member for some 16 years now, it has fundemently changed the way I am. There is no dogma or scripture to learn it is just an experience. Quite exeptional really but quite normal too. Keep up the writing, you express yourself eloquently and in a manner that each can understand in their own unique way. Take care Andy

Hi Andrew

Actually, I am deep into oriental thought - especially Buddhism. All my writing is based on very personal experience. The older I get, the closer I find myself coming to the truth and the closer I come to the truth, the more liberated I feel. Thanks for your interest. Leonard
