A True Being Poem by mark anthony st. rose

There, moves the prevailing Entity, Eternal and Essential,
Enveloping the Universe with the maxim of LOVE;
suffering, sacrifice, sexuality, all married to truth,
and Reality's essence the sea in which our real selves swim:
not the fabricated 'I' that we have come to know
or passionately love with surface attachments bonds:
a fleeting ego in the transient nature of time,
like a summer fling whose beauty is cherished only awhile,
or like an admired actor the pretended protagonist in a play.
Still our true awarenss peeps and haunts our night and our day,
as if a witness from another secret realm,
ghostly with spirits untainted and inviolable
who communicate to a self outside of self.
Yet our subconscious romances the intriguing existence,
unravelling slowly its mysteries through the thread of time,
and dancing as if in a trance of raptured love,
and articulating Love's mute truth in the language of men,
that when we sleep we are most awake- divine,
or when we die we are most alive- sublime.
And one day consciousness merges with the One and come to truth,
knowing ourselves unfathomable and luminous.
