To Live the Light We Are Within

Feb. 17, 2005

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,

And we are less alive than dead.

A consciousness that seeks to win

(No more to err, no longer sin)

From nether forces that control

This life, our mind, our very soul,

To live the light we are within.
