" The Way to Heaven is to be found within your Soul "
........................................................................................
I was searching for that that was lost today
deep within the realms and chambers of my soul
a simple link betwixt the past and the present
but oh how it meant so much to me
a tangible connection with my dearest thoughts
means much more than a billion words could say
so meticulously I retraced my steps and ways
the process of gentle elimination is the key to it all
a little piece of crumpled paper, with decorations of you and me
remnants and residues that resonate in our hearts
seperating the good from the bad
ushering in the light of discernment and tact
that scans the darkest recesses of my mind
and uncovers all my vulnerabilities and sensitivities
that may conceal any traces of hidden pride and ego
for to remain objective in the face of adversity
puts the demons of fear to full flight
and gives the injured soul, so much succour and delight
gathering in the qualities of equilibrium and balance
we can kickstart our lives again
brimming with supreme confidence
with regenerative streams and rivulets
of all consuming and radial love

Your opening quote says it all: "The Way to Heaven is to be found within your Soul"
And I love: "..the process of gentle elimination is the key to it all.."
And, "..to remain objective in the face of adversity puts the demons of fear to full flight and gives the injured soul, so much succor and delight gathering in the qualities of equilibrium and balance..." Equanimity rules ... the middle way is the balanced way!
Love your deep heartfelt, introspective poem offering sacred wisdom!
Love, Suzie :-D
