Poem: Break-Through

I began this poem in 1993 and finished it in 1997. It describes a transformation from disappointment and heartache to selfhood. I hope you enjoy. Would love to read your comments.

“BREAK-THROUGH”

Free now of all reveling
in unimportant things.
Fraught with expectations
full of broken dreams.

Moving right ahead now
with visions grandiose.
Summoning the courage
to conquer all my ghosts.

Knowing in the fullness
of the days that are to come;
my obstacles will fall away
and my fears shall be undone.

Mindful in this moment;
connected to my fate.
My sense of separate self
begins to dissipate.

Dissolving now completely
into the cosmic whole.
All enters my awareness
I reach my final goal.

Knowing for the first time
who I truly am.
I am Universal Mind
and it is but a man.

Follow your bliss. Experience your bliss. Become your bliss.

Hi Ray, what stood out to me was your use of the word ‘now’ punctuating the stages: it told of how the steps of our journey are always in the ‘now’, in our present moment, and we move and grow through them. Lovely poem. I would love to read your next verses in 5 years time. It would be really interesting to have a poem that follows you through life and the spiritual journey 🙂

  Thank you for the very kind comment, Angela. Yes, the use of the word now was very intentional. I have stopped writing poetry the past few years, but have recently taken it up again. Hope to be posting some new poems soon. In the meantime, I may post some more of my older ones.
  
  Have an awesome Friday!
