Isolated Enlightenment

White walls encompass my daily life
They are blank
Yet the table of my mind is full
I listen to the clamorous silence
See the burning fire of its eminence
Feeling the torrid heat of assurance
That I will taste the bitter tang of peace

At what cost
I might seem lost
But I know that I can never be alone
There will always be that divine song
Coming from the angels singing in the celestial choir
Of God, who is Almighty

Isolated from humanity and all its lusts? Please.
No, I am not exempt
I simply deflect the blows of that animal rage
With the shield of silence and meditation
I ignite temptation with the conflagration
Derived from the deepest and whitest fire

That fire is the life of me
And it has grown larger
As I have removed myself from the conformity
Spoken of Matthew 6:33

I have been renewed by the transformation of my mind
And it has left me blind
To the needs of my flesh
I have isolated my soul from body and my body from my flesh
We are three-fold.

And now having removed myself from the gravity of the world
I can escape the pull of that black hole
And maneuver myself dodging the asteroids of hate
The comets of lust
And pulsations coming from the Circles of Hell
To Paradiso, that Divine Comedy no Dante.

I am fulfilled.
