Presence is Illusive by Bridge

I was on retreat with John a month or two ago and he encouraged me to share a poem I wrote with you for the community

During a group korero another person gave the line “presence is illusive” whilst reflecting on the transient nature of meditative states. It sparked in me that it’d be an awesome song or album name. A poem later emerged

Presence is illusive

As if your being here is conducive

to being – aware

Thoughts and actions

mind and body

Share,

time and space.

Fleeting moments

flutter away.

Physical mass stays

while the..

Psyche’s sass – plays.

It comes as no surprise,

did the same thing a couple moments ago

I think it’s conclusive:

Presence is illusive
