Cat Catalyst
The Elixir of Love
My fears are not that I may cease to be
Rooted steadfast embodied in a world of physicality
And without fears too, for the deserted drying
Of heartfelt words or inspiration
Forever drawn to all my time spent in dedication
For no greater pleasure do I feel, may I apply
Whilst chained, imprisoned in this dimension
My only freedom, flight of soul, needs, musts express
Such a deep felt love for all humanity, a curious quest
I cannot explain
Impression’d on high from an invisible plane
So sublime
That poetic craft
Is not required for meter or to rhyme
Unless such craft imply, inject, ripen’d hearts
With the jewel of inner meaning
Inner truth infused with love, all pervading and genuine
Connecting precious principals beyond mere words
Which seek to make whole thus Human kind in complete align
So that intelligent insights into our complex Universe
May penetrate not only the heart but also the skin and the mind
Whereupon tinsel gilded illusions may fall away into nothingness
Instead replaced by a delicacy
And a gentleness
A refinement of the senses
Through an indiscriminate understanding
That the elixir of love is wisdom plus integrity
And connects us to every single living being or entity
