Live the Light We Are Within

An inner music tunes the ear

To sounds unheard that disappear

In the turbulent and noise-polluted mind.

When ears are closed to humankind

Little there is that we can hear.

When we are by confusion led,

At every step a dark 'instead'

Turns us from the destined way

To vanity or roads that stray,

Then we are less alive than dead.

A consciousness now seeks to win

(No more to err, no longer sin)

From nether forces that control

Both life and mind, our very soul

And live the light we are within.
