The Bird Poem

I watched a bird in flight today

When outside I went to meet the day.

Everything always seems like child's play.

Because, I am not serious.

Better to actions only observe,

just living our life curious.

It merrily did dive and swoop,

in ocean of free air.

And, what I saw not much compared,

its intricacy, to move, wing's flared.

With all its might just like a kite,

in strong wind did it flutter.

It seemed to me that it did stall,

bird engine stopped and sputtered.

Its tumbled fall to earth at once,

was mystery to me.

So suddenly, saddened my heart,

I could enjoy no longer.

And, watch it fly in azure sky,

what it displayed brought wonder.

So I went to the place it lay.

To see what I could do.

It took not long for he was gone,  

Seems song, had left the heart for good.

Finally free, so heavenly,

in thought now to ascend.

And not contained within the frame,

with world no more contend.

I'm sure, that it is happier,

set free for good, eternal.

For we are told that this is real,

to seek with singular devotion.

The life we've made up on this earth,

some cosmic wheels, we’ve set in motion.

Our Life within this dream of land,

it's only make believe,

And, just a contrived notion.

That's bodily and physically, by our senses,

that's how it, has been, perceived.

The letting go of this life's fiction,

it cannot be believed.

The final sleep, at rest in peace,

that's where We will Awaken.

Away from earth, the fantasy,

Our Soul, it has been taken.

To Live where Life has always been,

no longer we'll be mistaken.

And We will not Live in light of stars.

a voice of joy ne’er be spoken.

For it will be unutterable,

though Infinite in Thought.

As It, can't ever be contained,

in body, or worldly realm.

Some parts of earth seemed heavenly,

others, experienced as hell.

World's life perceived, sought as meaningful,

ended, short time for naught.

The way that We Are saved from it,

correcting our mind's thought.

And, don't believe some book's tale.

By sacrifice, it's never ever bought.

What you might hear, in Sunday school,

unfortunately, this catechism,

has for centuries, been wrongly taught,

and only maintained schism.

It's for salvation that we all came,

this two-sided dream to leave.

There is a happy, ever after,

for All, that will be seen.

With no one that is ever, forever lost,

And no, not one to be bereaved.

It was this concocted history,

for control, it was conceived.

To make us fear, eternal Love,

that had for us no condemnation.

Ego's thinking, we're apart from God,

a fright of hellish eternal, damnation.

There's really no one,

that we can blame,

no reason for its story,

Some thought that to return to God,

the price, it must be gory.

That person told us, that we're forgiven,

from our belief of separation.

There was no evil consolation,

Only Love's inevitable reconciliation.

And, we needn't, feel past shame,

This earth’s happenings, only a game.

Release all guilt, change back,

to Our One True Mind.

Finally, set free from all the pain.

Never fear, there's only Love,

and please, don't be disheartened.

One day, you’ll step into the Light,

and All hearts will be undarkened.

We'll leave this place quite differently,

then how we thought we came.

Illusion's picture, drama's comedy,

projected out, for all of us the same.

Seeing, the theatre's movie screen,

I know that it's a vivid dream.

It fades away, goes back to white,

in disappearing frames.

Finally, for good, just as We should.

Not one will stay in hell for long.

No longer, no more perceive,

this crazy dualistic game.

There is no final trumpet,

or great ringing of some loud gong.

And they’ll be none, going up in the sky,

some holy elected raptured throng.

For We All Are Wholly Holy.

We came All, from the same Source.

And, must realize We're not the body.

We Are The Divine, of course.

True Seeing We Are Now Free.

Realize, We never left.

Here, Presently, for All there IS,

Love's timeless Eternity.
