90% of outer space is nothing
We too are composed primarily of infinity
Black holes ironically are dense
They contain more substance
Than the human mind
The secret to life is not satiation
Its receptivity
=
What we perceive isn’t,
Our eyes discriminate shapes
There are only clusters of atoms
If we could see clearly
We’d see the connections
Not the distinctions
We’d see that we are not solidly bound
That we rise above
The reactions between our constituents
A matter of chemistry
Attraction and opposition
I find comfort in knowing
That the lines that separate us
Are just constructs of the ego
That in reality we are all parts of a whole
If I hurt you
It’s my own destruction that I undertake
If I cherish you, then I free myself
The shackles of self-hate
Still, I find the void frightening
Even knowing a vessel has no use
Without vacancy
I seek the security of solid ground
Though in reality change is growth
The only truth, is transience
Ethics are measured by circumstances
Not laws written in stone
For they do not accommodate situations
The nature of movement, is the nature of the soul
We must seek our truth in every moment
Knowing ourselves
We will act in accordance with the heart
=
I find comfort in the heartbeat
Of universal wisdom
In knowing that if I am open
I can unite with the divine
My beliefs are built on questions
In surrender
Curiously I am not that afraid
Of the darkness inside of myself
I know its tempered
With almost equal parts light
I write of misery
As a form of self-acceptance
I do not suffer my human condition
The variety of emotional experiences
Is fuel for the soul
For my double-edged pen
I love tears, they penetrate defense
They soften and humble
So that I can experience with greater poignancy
Affection
I love the anger
The hot energy of passion
That drives me forward when harnessed correctly
These shadows are not unacceptable
They are parts of myself deliberately concealed
I will not heal pressed under layers of filth
Only the light of realization
Can purify
=
I don’t believe in evil
Only pollution
We can all be cleansed
There is nothing so dark in you
That I do not also possess
Knowing the nature of self, I am not afraid
I have the freedom to choose
And I will radiate the light
=
(I can put my beliefs into words but I struggle putting them into a poetry)

Thank you so much for your positive lovely comments =)
Your poem became my morning prayer – and it came to me as grace does, unexpected, after a moment of realizing and expressing gratitude. Every line of your writing was mindful, deep, calm, and full of the knowing that comes when we are still. Thank you for sharing this. It is much more than poetry; it is a meditation, a journey. You seem to be a student of biology, psychology and physical science, as well as one who sees the spirit that unites all, and celebrates it with words.
Wow thank you so much! I am speechless your words are so beautiful. I am so glad it meant so much to you =) I do study psychology, philosophy, and anatomy and physiology. My husband has given me beautiful insights in his talks about Quantum physics. Thank you again *hugs*
