I am thrilled to share this Poetry in Collaboration with Amber from DiosRaw. When Amber invited me to write poetry together I doubted myself. Yet with her gentle loving nudge, I decided to give it a try. It was a very beautiful experience to engage in, with the brilliant lines she would send me, and I would add a line to it. It was a truly immersive experience, and that too in the very topic of Truth! What a gift, thank you Amber for this unique experience and opportunity! Here it is, the lines in italic are mine, that follows each of Amber’s lines:
Absolute Truth arcane masked in plain sight Seeking soul Suffering heart Existence blight Befuddled by the many vandalized paths to know our birthright Seemingly battered, finding & losing, losing & finding our own Light Ridiculed unaware by many, revered by few diverging paths of haze Assured yet doubting our way through the maze Breaking into the comfort of the unknown eternity to set the soul ablaze Oceanic waves of the heart to swim through that often rage The house of mirrors of the cosmos, reflecting Truth in the stirring of the chemical universal pot Particles settling, soothing clarity descends, buoying up the Light of Truth sought The Truth may not be as you conceive, before you wake up in the lessons of nets caught The truth is in all that you perceive, after you wake up to the knowing in your gut Alerting to soul growth, Truth beckons from the depths of bodily and psychological pain Returning to self core, Truth awakens to the expanse of the universe and wisdom innate Truth is the Reality, all else is ignorance, deception, distraction, distortion, limitation and indoctrination and the elaborate mystery we imagine life.
a beautiful joint effort, well done both of you … this is lovely!
Maybe submit it to Spillwords for publication?

Well done, you two!! Superb!! What a splendid journey you too the reader on. Amazing!! As for Truth, only Source or God is Truth and even there, this world has distorted who and what God and Source is. When we go within and learn to follow the Teachings and Guidance of the Voice in our Hearts, that is when we understand what Truth is. Thank you so much for this enlightened post! Bless the both of you!! xo

Truth is my passion as well, dear friend. Everyone has his or her own definition of Truth yet under all of that, there is only one Truth interwoven in all the Truths if one has eyes to see this. You caught me online trying to catch up with comments. Hope you had a really good day today!! xo

Thank you very much Radhika. I am grateful Amber did too. I appreciate your encouragement as I have been asking precious Poetry why her visits to me are so far apart. I think I am attached to poetry coming through unannounced, and perhaps should attempt sitting down to write one intentionally.

Stunning Congrats to the both of you. It is really lovely to have two different voices express the “same” feeling of the heart, but in different voices and experiences. Really beautiful and so enjoyable to read. It is a bit like a tennis match, the ball goes over to the other , the other responded and the rally continues until the poem has been spoken from both hearts. Well done to you both.
