Poetry about Enlightenment

[Anton_Pierre]

A fish in the sea, a fish in the sea.

What do I see?

Could water and coral be me?

Through knowing it seems to just leave

What an ease to relieve a belief.

I see thru my eyes

all the old truths which now seem like lies

no point in saying farewell or saying good-bye

there's no me here, there's just Life

[SoonHei]

i was looking for myself

atop mountains and in valleys

i searched every inch, all pixels of reality

then it struck my like a lightening bolt

brought me to my senses with an electrical bolt

ohm it screamed, no resistance to the volt - no revolt 

i opened my eyes and found myself, never to lose or forget

i realized that I could not remember because I never ever forgot

Enlightenment! The experience of all experience!

Advaita! Of everything, it is the substance.

But alas! Here i am, posting poetry

Instead of engaging in self inquiry.

Enlightened master by day, deluded pig by night; many such paradox in the spiritual trite

Still, I dream about being Batman on Sundays, when the soul goes through the dark night.

That guru says this, this guru says that

Meanwhile, I am a little bunny jumping from hat to hat.

Like within the jaws of the ferocious lion, its prey gets devoured

Passing my time idly, knowing my days are numbered.

Reminds me of something I read those days.

I AM

The One.

All this is me.

Fathom I mislaid

this most precious jewel,

and forgot,

my Soul is

forever free —

 

When I think toward a time 

when I was not,

the mind melts.

When I move within the place

that once contained me,

the body passes through.

 

My ears are all hearing,

yet I hear silences sing in unison.

My vision is unobscured,

still I see nothing.

 

Now lost in knowing,

too wise for wisdom,

too holy to pray.

I realize I am again 

the no-thing.

 

That mad, merciless

mystery.

And finally, at once,

the nothing,

is utterly me.

 

So hold my hand,

I shall take you nowhere.

Trace my steps,

I shall lead you toward emptiness.

Listen to my words,

I shall speak in silence.

 

I sing a freedom song.

I walk a victory march.

I dance naked,

and enter the void.

 

Follow me—

i am no poet

i am nobody

i don't have a will and I have no hobby

i am no human

i am no mind

i am not hidden but cannot be found

try and seek me, you keep spinning around

in circles and loops, hollow and true

you think you coming for me but I AM coming for you
