Fragments of the Divine
By Austin Mao ·
Touch in, touch out
Here are fragments of the Divine
Truth. Love. Purpose.
Ringing through the halls of time.
The journey is always inwards
Towards the light inside
Through the heart
Harnessed by the powers of the mind.
An endless depth,
That the mere exploration bears fruit
To feel more, love more,
To live life in gratitude:
The intrinsic value of all experience
In the very fiber of our being
In every breath, every word,
And each thread of our healing.
This house of Truth that awaits inside
The preciousness of life
That gives its own meaning.
To exist and enjoy every tick of time.
To cherish each breath.
Bearing echoes of the Sublime
To feel grateful for every stumble,
As much as each embrace
To grasp the impossibility of knowing God
And look shadow in its face
Every step, no matter the direction
Brings us closer to being whole
Where we can quiet our minds
Just long enough
To hear the whispers of our soul
Every moment is a gift
And if I was not so spendthrift
With my energy and my time
I could pause. Close my eyes.
And savor the taste of God,
The ever present Divine.
This bliss shall be my compass
So that perhaps in due time
I can live as I feel here
Until then, I shall surrender
Just a little longer
And linger in my prayer.
