inspired by life

the fragrance of air
warmth of breath
life
lingers
around our nostrils
inhaling thoughts
vanish into the black hole
of the mind
exhaling
emptiness

dreaming, whilst awake
life
deludes
the seeker of bliss
rest your eyes awhile
and realise you are the One
that you search for
whom you pray to

all around, at every moment
life
changes
though the One remains
and within oneself, lies freedom
remove yourself
from this dance of the senses 
running, running towards desires
while she who needs nothing
is the wealthiest of all

through eternity and beyond
life 
exists
simply in the moment
it is you who faces only forward
yet time flows in all directions
(time moves
but the moment remains still)

life
is fluid
taking shape
of your awareness
and every incarnation

Inspired by the 2 mediation sessions I had today plus The Ashtavakra Song which is so beautifully composed, sung and explained by Nitin Dawar, an Art of Living teacher and musician. Listen to it here
