The bliss that is

"Clarity and joy do not actually come and go.

Eroneous conceptions based on an assumed separate self arise in thought

and the attention goes to the thoughts.

Because of this interest or belief in thoughts, we overlook the present and clear nature within us."

-John wheeler

 

"This silent presence is not a mere abscence of thoughts. It is alive.

It is life itself."

-Francis Lucille

 

 

Being the aware present stillness among the waves

 

you are clearly free and untouched like the sky

 

 Thoughts and feelings simply rise and fall

 

timeless awareness knows them all

 

 This pure rocklike knowing

 

 is

 

neither coming nor going

 

In the deep understanding of this

 

blooms the boundless bliss

 

A flow of  natural ease

 

so full of peace

 

Simply

 

as it

 

is

You did it again my man!

The Zen like words, while aligning the text in shapes.

I first understood this poem when you mentioned the rise and fall part, which is the essence of Buddhist mindfulness concept.

Really fascinating, well done!
