Poe: Hey Ho!

Poe galore, nothing austere
Hey Ho! Hey Ho!
Here comes the Poe!

“A dream within a dream”
in numberless life he lived!
Raven at times, at times black cat
Have you met him in the grave
Or is he standing right back!

Harmless he is, love him more
Hey ho! Hey Ho!
Here, comes the Poe!
 

Gothic he is, you think...
Or is it,
projection of some dream!

Psyche if there is One
what is it that you have got to fear?
“Castle of Usher” or
 is it rebirth of “Ligeia” you stir!

Fear him not, love him more!
Hey Ho! Hey Ho!
Here comes the Poe!

Inspired by Karen Armstrong article in Parabola: the Search for Meaning!

The harmony between the inner and the outer

Playing with thoughts or intuition

Compassion a virtue in man

Heavenly when one recognizes in all!

When nothing engulfs,

Allowing the mystery to be as it is,

Abyss: a blessing and a quest…

When one accepts, one knows nothing at all!

Placing oneself in place of others

A virtue hard to find…

“Be in the moment,” seer says!

Behavior not it is, Being that defines US!

Allowing the ego to rest

Fear is then that you liberate

A consciousness of being One in all

ONENESS it is no doubt!

Bliss, then is a lasting stay

Moral faculty a place, where one thinks of others

Mind in constant flight, it always will take

Eternal Peace, when it takes rest in Nothingness!

Mystery of Universe elusive it is

What can be done!

Accepting it completely and Living in now

The only solace, for blissful soul!
